Well guess what? I forgot to add the water, and realised it after I had poured out a pan of mini-muffins. The muffins were actually perfect without it, luckily. I already had the rest of the batter in 2 loaf pans so I added part of the called for water to the loaf pan batter, stirred it up and moved it over to a sheet pan. There is more than one way to skin a cat. This is an excellent recipe tho' I did spice it up quite a bit with nutmeg, allspice and clove. <br/> I will not include the water next time. The bread in the sheet pan really was too moist for me, (doesn't slice nicely) something I have not encountered before in a quick-bread, but I noticed that at least one other reviewer thought so too. I will make this again and again, sans water. <br/>The can size is 14 oz.

incredible! very moist, which we like. flavor was right on. not too spicy, though i upped the cinnamon to 1.5 tsp. i have now made this recipe about 6 times or more. i did about 1/2 to 1/3 C less sugar the second time and liked it better. sometimes i also replace some white sugar with brown. i also replace 1 cup of wheat flour with a cup of white to make a bit "heartier" though either way it is very good. this recipe makes 2 big loaves or 3 smaller loaves, we prefer 2 big loaves. thanks for sharing this Elena, this was quick, easy, and YUMMY!
