I'm confused about all the positive reviews. I'd never tried boston brown bread before I attempted this. The closest thing I could think of this tasting like is fruitcake, but worse.

This is super quick, easy, and delicious. A whole wheat bread without yeast!! I had it with Curried Carrot Soup from this site. The second time I made it was with only 1/3 cup of brown sugar, which I preferred as a normal bread, but this would be great as is with raisins added. Thanks for this quick bread recipe! :o)

This is a good bread, it's a little sweeter than I wanted it to be, but the flavor is still very tasty. Though I'll keep looking for the "perfect" brown bread recipe.

This isn't the brown bread that I remember...it's not as dark. However, it's phenomenal. I really had to wrap it up and practically hide it from myself. I am a fan of butter, but this really is so much better with cream cheese. I can't wait to try it warmed over with some fruit butter in the morning. I have some cherry butter that will be amazing with it. Some reviewers mentioned that it got too done/dry at the full 60 minutes, so I checked it at 45 and it still needed a little more time. I went 50 and the middle was still a little wet when I pulled it out and let it cool. But I even like the slightly underdone part - the whole loaf had a great moist texture. Couldn't have been easier to make, tastes and smells amazing. Thank you for this awesome recipe!

This makes tasty bread with good flavor and texture. I added a half cup of raisins because I’ve never had Boston brown bread without raisins (I think it’s the law) and the raisins add to it. It’s not the recipe I was looking for but was still very good.

This tastes just like what my Grandmother used to make when I was young! After her passing, nobody seemed to know what happened to her recipies. So I added 2/3 cups raisins, that I had soaked in boiling water. I also baked the bread in cans. Only because thats how I remember Grandma doing it that way. Never knew why she boiled the raisins or used cans, but thats how I will always make it. Just because thats the way she did. Thank You for the wonderful recipe and the memories :)
