This loaf was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, perhaps some applesauce or yogurt. Overall, it was a good recipe and I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The loaf was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I think I might have overbaked it, but I followed the recipe exactly. Not sure what went wrong.
