It's not that simple: When you reduce the sugar, the resulting bread is
tougher and dryer, because besides adding sweetness, sugar holds water and
tenderizes. I think it's easier to get a dinner-style zucchini bread by
adopting a completely different approach and using a yeast-bread recipe like
the one Susan posted.
