Great recipe, I had to cook it 60 min, but that could be my stove. Thanks!

Love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe several times ... it's a great cold-weather bread! I substitute maple syrup for the sugar, use 1/2... whole wheat flour and add nutmeg & dried cranberries. The recipe also makes good muffins and they freeze well. Read more

Awesome! Love it!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I had some cans of sweet potatoes left over from the holidays and found this recipe to try and use them up. I also had one... lonely orange in the fridge and decided to add the zest and juice to the batter as well. After measuring how much juice the orange gave, I added enough water to the juice to make up the 2/3 cups of water that the recipe calls for. I didn't have any pecans, but I had a partial bag of slivered almonds and toasted hazelnuts, enough to make up about a cup. I used those instead. By mistake, I added 2 teaspoons of baking powder, but it still turned out just fine. The orange zest and juice really made the bread tasty. I think I just found my favorite alternative to banana bread!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe as I was looking for a way to use up a sweet potato on a snowy day when I couldn't get to the store to... get extra ingredients. This was easy, delicious, and so moist. I made a half recipe but used the full amount of cinnamon (or even a little more) and a bit of nutmeg. It took longer than 50 mins to cook, but it might have just been my oven. I highly recommend it, makes a great gift for the holidays!Read more

Very Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I only did one loaf so I cut the recipe in half. But still added the full amount of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. I added a... little Rum with my water and added applesauce instead of oil. I did half my flour as wheat and added some flax seed and wheat germ. Still took about 50 min to cook but came out moist and sweet. Very Good!Read more
