    This was good bread after making some adjustments. Like "overboard1" below, I used half brown sugar and half raw sugar. I changed up the spices to include 2 heaping teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. I also added 1/2 teaspoon maple extract and 1/4 teaspoon orange extract. When using sweet potatoes for pies or bread, lemon and orange extracts really help to bring out their flavor. I think golden raisins would be a good addition as well. One issue that I experienced is that I had to bake the loaves for around 1.5 hours. After the 50 minutes, the top of the loaves were still wet batter.

    I wasn't super impressed with this recipe. While the bread turned out nicely, the taste was just ho hum. I am a huge fan of quick breads, but I will not be making this one again. The idea of it sounded great, just the result wasn't so much.

    This recipe is great. I did not add the nuts but even without them it was really good. My family has already requested that it be made again.

    Since finding this recipe last month I have made 8 loaves. I cannot get enough of it. My freezer has several and I love that it makes 2 large loaves. However I did change the recipe a little. I used 1 cup brown sugar and 1cup sugar. Also I used 3 heaping teaspoons cinnamon and 1 teaaspoon nutmeg. This bread is delicious, the best recipe I have tried. It is very moist has lots of flavor and tastes more like cake. So I added an icing of 8 ounces of cream cheese with enough powdered sugar to stiffen and a teaspoon and a half of orange extract. What can I say but deliciousa!!!! Try it.
    Thank you Bill Kelly
