I love my Mom’s A-to-Z Bread, but the original recipe was a bit heavy on sugar and oil for my family. My version lowers the sugar and fat but retains all the flavor folks rave about! —Emily Carney, Grand Ledge, Michigan

I followed the daughter's version of the recipe, but used 3 cups of flour (don't have whole wheat on hand). I used chopped fresh strawberries, but since I didn't have the entire 2 cups, I added extra applesauce to make up the difference. Bread was excellent. I will attempt to make a carrot cake version tomorrow.

This was quick and easy and tasted great I've made 4 batches with pumpkin.

I would like to try this recipe but with the pumpkin. Is it puree pumpkin or packed pumpkin?
