Good choice. That looks awesome...wish I could have a piece.
Yummy! That looks great. I have a couple of zucchinis hanging around and I was thinking of using for a quick bread. I can't add nuts, unfortunately, so I may try a chocolate one.
Annie- you'll have to try this some time. It isn't overly sweet, but the cinnamon gives a GREAT flavor and, despite the low oil content, my bread was nice and moist.
CBJ - Yes! Chocolate would be good in here. Obviously the nuts are optional. SOmetimes, I even prefer my quickbreads without nuts. It depends on my mood.
