Zucchini bread variations

Oh, I've heard of walnuts, but never sunflower seeds. That sounds, interresting. I was just thinking of making some zuck bread yesterday because there were some beautiful zucks at the Dollar Store. However, I seem to be having an issue with my oven: all my baked goods collapse.

Thats what cooking is all about-experimenting. I get in the kitchen and concoct things. When someone ask what is it, I tell them its grammas surprise. Or I name the dish afer one of the grandkids, it depends on which kid whether is their favorite or not. I rarely make things the same way more then once. I put a little of this and a little of that. I rarely measure neither, I just dump. I am more careful with baking, you want to be careful with measurements if you want things to turn out.

I love zuchinni bread. I do experiment with my baing and cooking. I like to mix things up. I also come up with my own recipes too. I usually try to follow a recipe the first time I do it but then after that I start playing around with it and make it my own.

Absolutely! that is what makes a great recipe! My zukes are ready and I need to use up the leftover pumpkin cuz those are almost ready too! I am doing a TON of baking this week. I would rather do a bunch at once and freeze them. I love adding the goodies! My pumpkin bread is a recipe from the 1600's that everybody LOVES!

I believe my mum used chocolate to add with it. Her chocolate Zucchini bread was quite good too. It tasted just like regular chocolate cake. I should see about adding berries or something like that if we make it next.

The kind with the nuts, raisins, dates and fruits sound good. Do you have a recipe for it? I'm thinking of making some of banana nut this year. I'd like to find some other kinds that would be good to make and freeze. I love it in the wintertime with a cup of hot cocoa. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I certainly do. My favorite pumpkin bread has raisins, dates and walnuts in it. Not my creation, but very good, in my opinion. I like pineapple in carrot cake, and I would have enjoyed any one of your zucchini bread variations. I really like sunflower seeds, but of course I would, it is a Kansas food!!!

I'm always experimenting or just throwing things together when I cook. I often try to make recipes healthier or to use ingredients I have on hand. I like to put pureed fruit in quick breads, cakes, cookies to replace some of the fat and sweetener that the recipe calls for. I like zucchini bread with or without raisins and other fruit, nuts, chocolate chips...I've never tried sunflower seeds in it but I love sunflower seeds.
