DH made this tonight for dessert- he made 4 mini loaves as opposed to 1 large loaf. Tastey! This recipe is a nice change of pace from zucchini and banana bread (what we usually have). Not as dense as those other loaves it has an almost custardy filling when coming out warm from the oven. Good stuff on a cold night like tonight. Thanks Bev!
