Great recipe! I made the following changes: 1/3 cup splenda brown sugar, 1/3 cup flaxseed meal, added 1/2 cup roasted chopped pecans, added 1/3 cup golden raisens. Second loaf same but replaced the golden raisen with chopped dried apricots. Will be making this again and again. We used this for our supper, ate 1/2 a loaf. First time I ever made bread of any kind! YUMMY
