Oh boy, this is yummy! I was a daredevil just now and carefully sliced a single slice off the still warm bread (yes, I agree, it’s heavenly crumbly when it’s still warm) and spread half of it with a little tomato butter… I will make this bread next time I visit my parents. They will love it (and so do I)!

Yum! Made this today, used whole wheat flour, and it was still good! It’s funny- I googled “Spinach Quick Bread”- and Ree’s site came up! I have been a regular reader for quite some time, now, but have not checked in for some time. What do ya know, there was Ree on the Today show! Meredith is such a “non-food-person” (which she readily admits) but despite that, Ree did a great job! Woo-hoo!

This is a very nice savory quick bread. It was a little time intensive because of the ingredient prep, but it had a wonderful flavor. I agree that the texture is more like cake or biscuits–it would probably work really well as muffins. Also, the olive oil flavor is VERY strong! Make sure you choose an oil with a pleasant flavor, because it definitely comes through in the finished product.

Yum!! I made this with White whole wheat flour, so I put in a little less than called for. I also threw in 5 basil leaves. Not sure what effect it really has. But the muffin as a whole? Delicious!! Thanks for a great recipe. Makes me feel good knowing that while I hadn’t used all this spinach for a salad, I can get it in a muffin.

This was incredibly easy to make, and it has a nice taste. Not as strong a flavor as I expected. The texture is great. I’ll make this again.

Ok, i tried to post this under the Reviews section but it kept telling me I have to rate it (which I tried giving 5 mitts 5 times!!!)

This bread is fabulous! The texture is like a quick bread, not a yeast bread so it was exactly as i expected. Next time i think i will dice up the onions and rough chop the spinach in order for it to be more evenly disbursed throughout the bread. Just had a piece toasted with butter for breakfast and it’s fantastic! Thanks for the recipe, i’m a big mizithra cheese fan and don’t see a lot recipes calling for it.

I tried this recipe for the first time last night. It was very quick and easy to put together. It had a great flavor that I imagine will be even better today.

The bread came out very soft. It had a texture more like cake or biscuits. You definitely need to let it get close to room temperature before attempting to slice or it will crumble. Next time I may try making it as muffins.

OMG – this recipe has all my favorite things and doesn’t require kneading – this is a must-try for tomorrow (my baking day). Thanks for the recipe. Will post a review next week.

Oh holy cow – a cube of softened butter and a glass (or two) of crisp white wine – what could be better? I can’t wait to give this recipe a try!
