Again, looking for new recipes for excess garden zucchini, I found several recipes that used sunflower seeds. I tweaked a recipe a bit and also added coconut milk and as the liquid instead of milk or juice as in some other recipes plus I added a hint of vanilla. Read more I liked the addition of whole wheat flour in the recipes and that along with the sunflower seeds resulted in an earthy, nutty quality. The bread came out moist and fine grained although it did not overly rise in the pans. As we ate the first slice, we knew this was a keeper. Of course if one wants to substitute with nuts and or raisins or add cinnamon, I am sure that also would work out well too See less
