This bread was delicious and easy. I added a few ingredients like chopped nuts and a spiced glaze to make it even more special. The only "problem" I had with it was the lack of instructions on oven temperature (I followed another recipe & baked it at 350). Overall, a great bread that I'm planning on serving at my Thanksgiving table! - 21 Nov 2000 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Very good. I used applesauce instead of oil and I added a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. I might add a little bit more of each spice next time. - 02 Oct 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I decided to try this recipe because it doesn't have as much sugar as many of the recipes I looked at. It turned out great and has wonderful texture. I did use white wheat instead of whole wheat, and I did not have brown sugar, but used sugar in the raw. It was very easy and I will be making it again! - 04 Oct 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
