    We cut the Splenda by a 1/2 cup and next time we will cut it some more. Really good but a little too sweet for our taste. Thanks for this great recipe...the almond is a nice twist. - 6/10/10

    The chemical splenda killed this for me. A product first tested as a pesticide(1 molecule off), but because 1 researcher's bad accent, the other researcher tasted it instead of testing it and found it to be sweet. I tried natural Stevia, much better and really healthier too! - 5/10/12

    I used egg substitute and it was quite good. - 7/25/09

    Followed KARINDAB's reccomendation and cut the splenda by 1/2 cup. Didn't have blueberries, so replaced with 2 cups of raisins. Used 4 mini-loaf pans and baked for 40 minutes on convection bake. I was looking for a recipe that both replaced sugar with splenda and oil with applesauce; this is it! - 10/5/13

    Fantastic! I used 2 cups of oat flour and 1 cup regular flour, and reduced the blueberries by a cup. Next time I will reduce the blueberries further. This is a really scrumptious bread! - 7/23/11

    Never guiltless because I'd have a hard time keeping at 1/32 of this for my serving size, but I'll try it sometime. - 8/16/10

    I made this without the blueberries since they are out of season but I loved the nice flavor the almond extract gave. I also used sugar for the Splenda and added Enjoy Life semi sweet mini chips to one loaf. - 12/20/12

    Not about this recipe but If you take any medication at all check to see if it will react with artificial sugars. I made the mistake of taking my pain medication with a Smoothie made with Splenda.Within 10 minutes of finishing it I was on the side of the highway extremely sick. - 8/24/09
