To Reeva et al:

I have tried several recipes from Donna Rathmell German's "The Bread Machine
Cookbook
II" and this one is especially nice in the fall/winter.

PUMPKIN OATMEAL BREAD

1/3 cup vegetable oil  (I substituted 2 1/2 T "Lighter Bake"  -- a prune
puree-type
                        fat substitute)
1  cup pumpkin puree
2  eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute
3/4  cup brown sugar
1/8  tsp
1/4  tsp cloves
1 1/2  tsp cinnamon
3/4  cup oats
1 1/4  cups self rising flour (already includes baking powder and salt) OR 
1 1/4  cups all purpose flour & 
2 tsp  baking powder &
1/2  tsp salt

Place all ingredients in the baking pan and set on cake cycle.  Bake for 40
minutes.**

** According to German, the Zojirushi is preprogrammed to turn off when the
cake/quick bread is completely baked.  However, my Zoji manual says to check
at about 50-60 minutes of baking and every 5 to 10 minutes thereafter.
(Total baking time on the cake cycle in the Zoji can be as long as 85 min.)


CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE (also from the above mentioned cookbook)

1/4  cup vegetable oil (I used 2 T fat sub: "Lighter Bake")
1/2  tsp vanilla extract 
1/2  cup milk (I used vanilla flavored soy milk)
2  eggs or 1/2 cup egg sub (Egg Beaters)
1 1/2  cups chocolate cake mix (approx. 1/2 box)
1/3  cup chocolate chips (on the Zoji, add at the beep)

Bake for 35 min. (**For a Zoji see directions above)


POPPY SEED CAKE (also from German's cookbook)

3/4  cup milk/soy milk
2  eggs/egg sub
1/2  cup vegetable oil (I used 1/4 cup "Lighter Bake" fat sub)
1  tsp butter flavoring
1  tsp almond flavoring
1  tsp vanilla flavoring
1  T poppy seeds
1  cup sugar
1 1/2  cups self rising flour OR
1 1/2  cups all purpose flour &
2 1/4  tsp baking powder &
3/4  tsp salt

Bake for 50 min. (**For a Zoji see directions above)


QUICK CORN BREAD

2  packages of prepared mix plus other ingredients listed on the box, set on
cake cycle and test after about 50-60 min.


The Zojirushi Recipe Book that comes with the machine has a number of
recipes also.  
They suggest using any cookbook quick bread recipe for a 9x5-inch or
8x4-inch loaf pan that calls for 1 to 2 cups of flour, and does NOT have a
LOT of additional ingredients, or one-bowl cake recipes "in which all
ingredients are measured and then mixed" (halve a two layer or 13x9-inch
cake recipe).
