this was really moist with a light flavor. i didn't have any honey and i'm allergic to cinnamon so i substituted light corn syrup and nutmeg for them both. the results were delicious and i'm going to be making this often. thanks bec :).

This a delicious and moist bread that is also healthy. I am amazed that so little oil was used and yet it came out so well. I used all whole wheat flour and it made it even healthier. thanks for the great recipe. I will be using it every fall
