This is very good! Being diabetic, I can enjoy a sweet treat without the added sugar! Quick, easy, and very tasty. That makes it 5 star for me. Made for Alphabet Soup Game. Thanks for posting Steve.

I really liked the pineapple bread. I thought the nuts kind of over powered the pineapple flavor, but I might not have chopped the nuts fine enough. I will definately fix will try making it without the nuts. LindaC
