This was a great bread! I did make some changes to it however. I used less sugar & added some honey, replaced the butter with coconut oil, added a couple bananas that I had thy were old & used whole wheat flour.. So I guess I made a different bread. But still, if it wasn't for this recipe I wouldn't have found it. It was so moist & delicious! Had to stop myself from eating the whole thing.

I had super ripe kiwis and they were perfect for this bread, since kiwis aren't that sweet you need to use really ripe juicy ones. We ate it with a spread of cream cheese. Most delicious. Perfect to go with a cup of tea.<br/>Thanks for sharing

I used overly ripe kiwi fruit. This was terrific. My friend and I killed a whole loaf with our tea this morning.<br/>it's a keeper

I likey-likey! Very different/citrusy-tasting, but still yum. I used only 1/3 cup of sugar and used 1 tbs of nu stevia powder. I also used a commerical gluten-free flour (Better Batter). It turned out plenty sweet. My kiwis were (I'm embarrassed to say) 4-5 weeks old, but it made my bread nice and sweet. I used 6 kiwis which yielded ~1 1/2 cups of kiwi puree. However, that was fine, because my GF flour requires additional liquid to be added to recipes.<br/><br/> I get what the quick bread purists are saying about the texture on the outside; it does have a somewhat thick, dry crust. However, as long as you don't cook your bread for longer than 55 minutes, it's edible. If I knew more about food chemistry, I might try to alter the recipe to get a softer, more traditional, quick bread texture on the outside. However, I still think it was yummy and would make it again. Just upgraded this from 4 stars to 5 stars after I inhaled a second slice. :)
