I used applesauce instead of oil and added a bit of orange zest. We loved the perfect texture and how moist it was but there really wasn't any WOW factor for us. If you like simple basic good food this recipe is for you.

It was very moist, but just did not have the zing of pumpkin and cinnamon flavors.

This bread we like but to avoid it being dry I replaced whole wheat flour with white. Whole wheat sometimes gives a dry result and rarely use it in sweet breads. Also, it does not have too much baking soda which is a pleasant change and nor does it have that "heavy" texture. I guess this review is definitely based on our tastes and not everyones. As to the omission of oven tempurate all one has to do is check out other similar breads and certainly not something to change a rating drastically.

I liked this recipe because it wasn't too sweet, and I liked that you add whole wheat flour too it. I made it for a party and it got great reviews. I'll definitely make this one again.

This was very yummy. I used 2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour instead of 1 cup each of wheat and white flours. I used applesauce in place of the oil and added 1/2 tsp cinnamon in place of the allspice (I had none on hand) and 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg as the other reviewers suggested. I also added 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. I will definitely make this again.

This was very simple to make and turned out ok considering that it is a 'healthier' bread than some of the other recipes that call for cups and cups of sugar. It's a bit dry (I think I might have overbaked it a bit), but all in all it makes for a nice snack with tea. Instead of the spices listed, I used pumpkin pie spice, but I wish I added a bit more than 1/2 tsp as I would have liked it spicier.

This is very good, but I will add more spice next time (probably pumpkin pie spice) as this is just a little bit under-spiced for me. I added mini chocolate chips to this with great results.

This is awesome and I don't feel like I'm ingesting 400 calories per slice. I doubled the spices (and used pumpkin pie spice, too) but that's all I changed. Overall, it's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting!
