A very tasty quick bread, and easy to make. I made the carrot and brown sugar variation, added orange juice, almonds and crystallized ginger. This is going to be nice for breakfast.

Like many of the recipes in this book, this is a basic recipe which can be adapted. He gives a basic recipe for fruit/vegetable quick bread with nuts or seeds, and suggests combinations that would work. I made this bread with orange juice, carrots and pumpkin seeds, and with brown sugar as suggested in the adaptation on pg. 844.
It turned out nice and sturdy, with a deeper flavour from the brown sugar. I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup, and it was fine. The only complaint is that it is a bit dry, but that can be fixed with tinkering I'm sure.
I'm always looking for quick bread recipes to use up something or other, and this looks like a good starting point for improvising. (Truly the strength of this cookbook, as we know.)
