Mary asked for our own reduced sugar recipes... I have tinkered with the traditional pumpkin bread recipe for 20+ years, and found that the best modifications that maintain all the characteristics of this quick bread are to reduce the sugar by a third, the oil from 1 c to 1/4 c, and add 1 c unsweetened applesauce (this is a recipe that makes two 9x5 loaf pans). I've been able to replicate this with other quick breads with reasonable success. I haven't tried to reduce sugar in anything else, however. Good luck!
