I loved jmelyn's Pumpkin Spice Bread, but made a few changes to lower the fat and calories. It still turned out great, and really moist. The spices are phenomenal!!

I was disappointed in the results of this bread...it was heavy, tasted like pumpkin pie consistency (kind of mushy). I wonder what I did wrong. : (
