Wow! Fabulous light texture, intense molasses flavor, very moist and tender. Follow this recipe as written and you'll be very happy with the results.

This was delicious! I was afraid it would taste too "whole wheat-y," but it was yummy, moist and rich. I only used 3/4 molasses because that's all I had on hand. I also used 1/2 c oil and the full amount of honey (3/4). Thanks, Pat, for a great recipe!

I thought this was a good recipe. I was surprised that the batter was so thin but it baked up beautifully and light. I used Spelt flour and got a good result. I like the fact that it is not overly sweet.

I'm delighted with this recipe ! Perhaps it is the whole wheat flour that makes this gingerbread almost chewy. The crust has a nice, sweet glaze to it - but the bread itself is not overly sugary (it's just right). There is the tang of molasses in the flavor (which I like - I used dark molasses here). I also doubled the ginger. In mixing this, I got a very runny batter - which worried me. But the bread came out just right, in the recommended baking time. Yum ! (And yes, it makes the kitchen smell great.)

I agree that this recipe could use a little more sweetness. I made it as stated, and it turned out quite yummy- nice texture and aroma. However, I think next time I'll add a bit more honey.

I was pleasantly surprised that such a simple, healthy list of ingredients could yield such a delicious bread! Great for dipping in eggnog. It's certainly a new holiday favorite.

My family turned up their noses at messing with their favorite Gingerbread recipe to a whole wheat one. I made this one and the 3 of us cleaned it up in one setting! (I halved the recipe)

I was disappointed with this recipe. It was not sweet and tasted more like actual bread than a dessert. Good texture, consistency, and spicy flavor, but not nearly sweet enough.
