"I got a similar version of this recipe from a friend but had to tweek it for my fiance' who is diabetic. It is not 100% sugar free (less then 1 gram per serving) and very low in fat and calories without sacrificing taste, ENJOY!!"

Perfect for our needs i.e. overabundance of zucchini! Loved the addition of carrot. I altered the eggs by using 1TB ground flax seed + 3 TBS water for each egg equivalent.

I made the recipe as written, but onlyl got one 9/5 loaf pan and 1 mini pan from the batter. For this trial run that was not a problem. The taste and texture are really quite good. I would make this just for myself. As it is I am not a diabetic, but have been asked to make some diabetic friendly deserts for a wedding. The large loaf pan took 1 hour and the smaller one 45 minutes. I also lined the bottom with parchment paper.
