Mmmm! very good! Made for lunch with friends, everyone loved it! I underestimated the size of pan I would need, next time I will use a large loaf pan, and there will definitely be a next time. I didn't have pumpkin seeds, so doubled up on the roasted sunflower seeds, and when I came to bake it, I sprinkled brown onion soup powder on top of the loaf, and then drizzled melted butter over that, mmmhmm! I was quite surprised that even non-spinach lovers enjoyed this tasty loaf! thanks, kitzy!
