Review:
My kitchen smelled amazing as soon as I put the bread in the oven. This is very similar to a maple pecan bread recipe I've used before that turned out very dense. In this recipe I substituted the flour with wheat flour and the sugar with splenda to make it a little healthier - I think the wheat flour gave it a little heartier flavor. Excellent recipe - much fluffier than the other one I tried!!
