Very nice, moist breakfast bread. I substituted applesauce for 3/4 of the oil, and soy protein powder for 1/2 the flour for a healthier alternative, and it turned out great. I also added some extra spices (1/2 tsp. each of nutmeg, cloves and cardamom) as well as raisins, walnuts, and finely chopped candied ginger. Delicious!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
