"Taken from January 2006 Bon Appetit's RSVP section. Rich and delicious. I think I would try to cut down on the oil somewhat by substituting applesauce for about half the oil."

I love this bread and so do my family and friends. It's a very moist recipe so I omit the pineapple and I replace the oil with applesauce (1 cup). I also bake in muffin cups for about 40 min's to cut down baking time and increase portability. Thanks for sharing this!
