I have reduced sugar in my baked goods for a long time. My family now expects it in home baked sweets. I have found the same results in using too little sugar. Many times we have slathered butter on microwave warmed muffins and sweet breads to counteract the dryness caused by removing too much sugar. You did an excellent job explaining the science behind the sweetness of quick bread baking. Thank you! From today on I will bake with more confidence and I will pass this new knowledge on to my children. We will all be better bakers!
