I've gotten into the habit of whipping up a loaf of quick bread every week or two, and taking a slice to work for a morning snack. It's nice to have something sweet and carby to look forward to. I slice the bread up and wrap each piece in plastic wrap, tucking them into a large ziploc bag in the freezer. Banana bread is my go-to quick bread, but lately I've been branching out, thanks to the recipes I've discovered on the enticing website Joy the Baker. Here are some of my favourites.
When it comes to banana bread, I'm lucky that Orangette seems to like it as much as me, because she's posted several recipes, most of which I've tried. This is the one I've come back to, time and again. I omit the sugar topping and chocolate chips now, because I'm not so fond of any chocolate in the morning that's not Nutella-based. Banana Bread with Chocolate and Cinnamon Sugar
This Honey Cranberry Cornmeal Quick Bread is awesome, and what I'm currently snacking on. I like the crunch of the cornmeal, sweetness of the honey, and tang of the cranberries.
The Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread was moist and had great flavour, and one recipe makes 2 loaves as a bonus. The second loaf seemed to go over a treat when I took it to my in-laws' on Christmas morning.
These are coming up next in the rotation:
Low Fat Oatmeal Banana Bread
Lemon Drenched Lemon Cake (she tagged it 'breakfast' ok?!)
Raspberry Almond Bread
Do you have any great quick bread recipes?

Martha Stewart's strawberry bread is one of my favourite quick bread recipes :) Thanks for sharing great recipes! I'd love to try the honey cranberry cornmeal one and the lemon drenched lemon one...
