A great sweet bread -- maybe a bit like pumpkin bread? My kids ate it (wonder of wonders) and liked everything but the raisins. Next time I may try it without them....

Wow! That is good bread! I used Bush's Vegetarian Baked Beans, because that's what I had, and beat them with the mixer quite well. It has that mystery taste that will have people asking "what's in that bread/" It has a rich taste, and will be great for breakfast :) Thanks, I couldn't wait to make it to see what it tasted like and wasn't disappointed.

Made two large and one small loaf today. Very nice texture. Easy enough to make but really needs more spice in it. Will add some others next time and update this post. Worthwhile making.
