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).
