Great recipe!! I substituted butternut squash, half whole wheat flour and half applesauce for the oil and it turned out GREAT. Thanks for a good recipe. My kids loved it. Next time I will try it with raisins.

Smells wonderful! I made one loaf and 12 muffins. Very moist, though a bit bland. I didn't add any raisins or nuts though, which I think would have made it a bit sweeter.
