splenda orange zucchini bread

I recreated this recipe from my original Orange Zucchini Bread that is in my cookbook for a diabetic friend. The results were amazing. This is just regular splenda. IT IS NOT MADE FROM SPLENDA BLEND FOR BAKING. ALTHOUGH I AM SURE YOU COULD USED THE ONE THAT IS MADE FROM BAKING. By using REGULAR SPLENDA I had to add the addition of NON FAT DRY MILK, AND BAKING SODA, to get the same volumn that you would get if you were using sugar. It is a great recipe, and it is one of my favorite splenda recipes to go to.
