This is fast becoming my favourite recipe! Have made this several,times and when I take it into my office my colleagues devour it you've got to move quick to get a slice before it's all gone! - 20 Aug 2017

Makes a fantastic breakfast for when I'm in a rush. I only had 1 loaf tin so just poured it all in that and cooked for an hour and a half, was fantastic yum. Next time might add more pecans. - 21 Sep 2011
