1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 cup walnut or canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Dough too dense. Comparing to other recipes, seems that should be more oil and/or eggs. One carrot bread recipe has similar ingredients and quantities, but oil was 3/4 cup not 1/4 cup.
