I had to cut myself a second slice to decide what to write.
This quick bread has zucchini, banana, carrot, nuts, oats – so very healthy. The flavors are very light and would be perfect with a cup of tea. That being said, the next time I make it, I will probably add more or darker sugar, maybe some chocolate chips or cinnamon. The nuts are toasted and that really makes a difference; it brings out a richer, more complicated flavor.
This seemed especially quick and easy to me. I was going to be out of the house all day and had company coming for dinner, so I prepped everything I could before leaving. When it was time to bake, all I had to do was combine the wet ingredients and grate the veggies.
Unlike my other blog posts, as part of the Heavenly Cake Bakers, I don’t post recipes from this book on the Internet. One of the reasons for this baking group is to encourage readers to purchase the cookbook. That strategy worked on me! After follow the group’s baking adventures for a couple of months, I ordered a copy from Amazon because I wanted join in.

It is a lightly flavored bread. Like you, I think I’ll play with flavors the next go around, although it was well liked just as it was.

Vicki – lol, I guess I’m just into heavy flavors.
Faithy – thanks, the photo was my holdup, but I was down to only two slices by the time I got around to photographing!

Your pics are wonderful. Thanks for your honest opinion on the quick bread. I find a lot of Rose’s recipes from RHC are not quite sweet enough for my taste (didn’t have that issue with recipe from the cake bible).

Great closeup picture! Glad you liked the bread. I liked it as-is (even better on day 3 which was yesterday), but I think I will add some spices next time and/or orange zest.

I am little late in viewing these posts and getting acquainted. Glad to meet you and thank you for checking in with my little blog, simple as it is, I am having fun. The bread was good and will be easy to adapt to different flavors. I really enjoy my online cooking groups and love to experiment with different cuisines and see what other inspired cooks are creating.
