    • Reviews

  • “This is an excellent quick bread.I was able to use Splenda brown sugar blend for the brown sugar and mixed in some whole wheat pastry flour for part of the flour.Mine did not bake up as high as I would have liked so I would probably use a smaller pan next time around.Also, I would highly suggest allowing this to sit overnight as is the case with most quick bread.This allows the flavors to blend together and the bread is more moist.”
