YUM! Fit fine in a 9x5 pan. I used all whole wheat flour and it tasted great. I used a whole cup of raisins and sprinkled a bit of sugar on top before baking.

Delicious!, also amazing the next day toasted with a little butter and or jam. I reversed the flour to 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour and one cup white. To boost the nutritional value. This is an easy recipe that's fun to make with the kids.

I love this recipe but there is too much batter for a 9 x 5 inch pan. I baked it in a 12 x 4-1/2 inch pan and it was perfect. I will make it again because everyone loved it!
