Absolutely delicious. I'm pretending it's healthy and feeding it to my daughter to get some vegies into her! I added a smidge less oil and more pumpkin to compensate. Thank you for sharing. - 17 Jul 2010

Used different ingredients. Just tried this with bananas instead of pumpkin for a giggle - delicious! One of the best banana breads I've had. Two recipes for the price of one, woohoo! - 27 Jun 2010
