This made a great quick bread! I made without the glaze (ran out of time). I am sure it would be even better with it, but was sweet enough without. I did use half applesauce for the oil and used white whole wheat flour since that is what I had on hand. Oh, and added some walnuts, too. Sorry for the changes, but don't think it altered the taste much!
