Tips and Variations:

* Add nuts like walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts for added crunch and flavor.
* Use different spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to create unique flavor profiles.
* Make muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter into 12 muffin cups and baking for 20-25 minutes.
* Use different sweeteners like maple syrup or coconut sugar to reduce refined sugar content.
* Experiment with different types of fruit, such as apples, blueberries, or raspberries, to create delicious fruit-based variations.
