This bread is so versatile! I've made it with different types of nuts, fruits, and even chocolate chips. It's always a hit.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead. The bread turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I added a bit more cinnamon and nutmeg, and I used maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
