This loaf is very good - not too sweet and very tasty. I followed the recommendations of other members and made the following adjustments: - instead of 2 cups of white sugar I used 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar -instead of 1.5 cups of oil I used 1/2 cup of apple sauce and 1 cup of oil - added 2 tsp vanilla - baked for about 1 hour and 10 minutes at 350 degrees (I started off at 375 but quickly realized this would be too hot for my oven) I'll be making this one again for sure!

this is great! the modifications I made were adding vanilla (2tsp), and half brown/half white sugar. I also used 1/2 cup applesauce and 1 cup oil. I only added 1 cup of raisins, and am assuming the pineapple is to be drained. I squeezed it out very well before adding. This is a thinner consistency bread so I was concerned that raisins would sink to bottom and slightly scorch but they didn't. Sprayed with "Pam for baking" spray and they slid right out of the pan. I do like a spicier bread so added 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. I only had the small baby carrots so used 2 cups of shredded carrot. This is super moist and would make great muffins too! Could easily sub. shredded apple for the carrot.

These were really good! I made a couple of changes. I substituted light brown sugar for the white, and added 2 tsps of vanilla extract. I baked as muffins...and they are so moist and delicious.

I made this loaf in 5 small loaves. It was very easy to make and is very moist and tasty. This is one recipe that I will make over and over again.

Very moist. Great taste too. I had a 1/2 can of mandarin oranges left over, so I put them in the food processor and added them to the mix. I also used golden raisins instead of the regular kind. I also had to cook it a little longer - 14 more minutes at a lower temp of 350. Very easy to make.

I love this bread. Chopping the carrots in a processor made the preparation time quick and simple. I have made it several times. Delicious! Thank you so much. josie

This is a wonderful recipe. It takes time to grate the caarrots but other than that it's very simple to make. I did find that it takes longer than 45 minutes to bake. More like 1 hour, 10 minutes.
