    Quick bread isn’t the same as bread… Although I am seeing that cakes can be considered a type of quick bread so again I think this might largely be related to semantics. Things like banana bread, corn bread, biscuits, zucchini bread, are all quick breads that work as muffins and can have greatly reduced sugar without damaging their structure. The wheat and bran blueberry muffins I make are similar to sweetened wheat bread in flavor but texturally they’re like a dense muffin. I’m not using gluten and yeast for the structure they use other leavening agents which is why they’re a quick bread. My substitutions are: Less sugar, use whole wheat flour, sub some flour with bran and wheat germ. No I don’t have any dietary restrictions

      This isn’t semantics. If you remove sugar you chemically alter the structure of the good. They will be tougher as a result.

      The “quickbreads” you list are all batters. Try finding a dough based bread that becomes a muffin.

      Again, I ask if you are vegan/plant based diet. Im not looking to engage with you on the morality. I have just noticed over the course if my time baking many vegans maintain their changes would make a similar product or an identical one when the science does not back that claim.
