“This was a simple and quick recipe. I just added one teaspoon of vanilla extract because I like the vanilla flavor. It has a crispy outer layer and a moist inside.”

“Simple recipe that never fails. We Love it! It’s now my go-to! I’ve added nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate chips (not all at once, but as variations just to experiment a bit and they’ve all been great) I’ve also made them as muffins and it literally never fails!”

“This turned out so yummy! I think this is the recipe I use every year but always forget! The only change I made was adding vanilla extract and walnuts. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves and my 6-year-old daughter loved making it with me!”
