I used a 75/25 ratio of applesauce to oil, and the bread came out wonderfully! I baked for about 55 minutes and might decrease the time by five minutes next time. Like others suggested, I would add a little more spices, but that's mostly a matter of taste. I might also reduce the sugar by 1/2 next time to allow the pumpkin and spices to really shine. Great recipe!

I would strongly suggest NOT using cottage cheese. It tastes fine but looks horrible. Overall, this is a basic, simple, but tasty recipe

I usually add a handful of melted dark chocolate chips to the melted butter. It gives the brownies a richer, more sophisticated flavor. I've also experimented with using all white vs. 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar, and both work well
