"This is a great treat to have on hand for company. It freezes well. I like to add raisins or dried cranberries to the recipe."

Good recipe but too sweet. The second batch was better when I cut the sugat to 1-1/2 cips.<br/>I added a touch of cardamom and it really brought out the flavor.

Made this recipe, half with almost a cup of dried cranberries & the other half as written ~ Although we enjoyed both of them tremendously, I particularly liked the loaf with the berries added! I cut both loaves in half & froze half of each just to see how well that would work & am confident they will be just as great tasting as when the first halves were devoured! One other thing you should know, we got 5 servings from a half-loaf, so that would bring the total servings for the 2 loaves to 20 ~ That's quite a drop in the totals listed in the 'Nutrition Facts!' Thanks for a great recipe keeper! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag]

This was really good! I actually made one loaf pan and 24 mini muffins. Instead of using the full cup of oil, I used 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup of mango and applesauce. I left out the nuts but may add them next time. Thanks for sharing this recipe!Oh and the loaf freezes very well too!

Great recipe Yamma! I love this bread..not too sweet, but just right. And you get 2! I love that. :) I chopped the orange in a blender, and it took a few minutes. I had to add a splash of water to get things moving. The bread mixed up quickly and was done perfectly after 1 hour. Thanks yamma!

I omited the cinnamon and pineapple, added a teaspoon of grated orange zest, 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup dried cranberries. This bread is awesome! So good for a breakfast bread.
