"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."

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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]
     
  3. 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!
     
  4. 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!
     
  5. 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.

Tweaks

  1. This recipe turned out perfectly. I made 24 muffins instead of loaves of bread and then froze half the muffins to use later. These are moist and full of flavor. The only slight change was I really pumped up the cinnamon and added a few sprinkles of nutmeg to the batter. I love Syd's idea of adding dried cranberries and will do that next time as the combo of the sweetness from the orange and tartness from the cranberries will be wonderful. Great addition to my baking cookbook.
     
  2. This bread is wonderful. I used it for part of my holiday baking and all my neighbors raved about it. The only change I made was substituting applesauce for the oil. It was very good. Stacy
     
  3. This was incredibly delicious. I was skeptical about throwing a whole orange in there, but it tasted great. I used Splenda instead of sugar, and replaced half the flour with wheat flour. Turned out great, will definitely make again.
