SO HOW'D IT GO?

this sounded so delish, i jus had to try it! changed the recipe up a lil tho... used 2/3 c. honey instead of sugar (i eat honey...), and didnt use any egg replacers (had enough liquid because of the honey). didnt have cinnamon either...... howeverrr, this was a surprise! only cooked for 30 minutes, started to smell amazing so thought i better check it, thank goodness. moist and not too sweet but just perfect with the glaze. thumbs uppp, thanks!

I am eating this right now, and am surprised that it is not completely cakey, like I thought it would be as I was making it. It's sort of a cross between cake and bread. Very fluffy, which is unusual for most of my baking. I will definitely be making this again!

This was great!! I think this definetly qualifies as a dessert. I used the 1 1/2 cups of applesauce and only 1/3 cup sugar/splenda mix.  Definetly try! ;)b

this was good, i went with the 1 and a half cups of applesauce, 2 flax eggs, cut the sugar to 2/3cup, and did half cocoa/half ghiridelli ground chocolate.  i also added about a cup of sunflower seeds, and i think chocolate chips would be awesome of course, too.  i totally forgot about the glaze.. but it was still good without it.  i got 3 mini loaves out of it and i baked them for about 40-45 minutes.

i shoulda taken a picture...

I love this bread! It's wonderful! I make it every few days, sometimes modifying the recipe by adding a handful of pecans (and a splash of soymilk to thin up the batter a little). My whole family loves it hot out of the oven... and they thought I was crazy for going veg.  :P
