Just need to convert over to grams and celcius. Sounds okay.

Just made a super easy zucchini bread (sweet) if anyone wants as zucchini are in abundance and in season:

3 cups finely grated zucchini
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
3 cups wholemeal self-raising flour (can be white if you like)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup pureed sweet potato (this is an added extra, but if you don't use it, you may need something like milk to moisten the cake)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp vanilla paste (can be vanilla essence or 1/2 vanilla bean pod)

I just chuck it all together in the mixer and let it go for a minute or two and then put into 2 bread tins that are greased. Into the preheated oven at 180 until cooked through... around 50 minutes.

Hmmm never thought of zucchini in a bread before. I like making fried zucchini sticks in breadcrumbs, I bought 2 the other day just for this purpose. I am sure I will have an abundance of zucchini in a matter of months with all the seedlings I just planted and I will give this recipe a go.

I used to make chocolate and beetroot muffins - there's loads of veggies you can used to make sweeter treats

Does a beetroot and chocolate muffin count towards one's 5-a-day though? Lol

I don't see why not....

I've heard of using tomato sauce in chocolate cake (which isn't much of a vege serving is it?!), and another recipe that uses potato in chocolate cake. THat's jsut odd, but its closer to the serving of vegetable we need! Any excuse to eat choccie cake.

Not going to happen here

Little Miss you don't taste the beetroot at all, it just binds the mixture and adds moisture. Also it's boiled beetroot, not pickled!
