 For quick loaves, have ready two greased loaf pans,
 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2 inches. For muffins, have ready 2
 12-cup muffin pans. In a medium bowl, combine flours,
 soda, baking powder, cinnamon and walnuts. If
 preparing muffin mix for storage, omit nuts and divide
 dry ingredients into three batches. In a large bowl,
 whisk eggs until foamy, add sugar, oil and vanilla and
 whisk until blended. Add choice of fruit or
 vegetables. Add dry ingredients and stir with fork
 just until blended. Do not beat. Divide dough between
 loaf pans or muffins pans. Bake loaves in preheated
 350°F. oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until tops are
 golden brown and a toothpick inserted in centre of
 loaves comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes,
 before turning loaves out on wire racks. When
 completely cool, wrap loaves in aluminum foil and
 refrigerate for 24 hours before slicing. To freeze for
 up to one month, put foil-wrapped loaf in heavy
 plastic bag and seal. Bake muffins in pre-heated
 375°F. oven, 12 minutes for large ones, 10 minutes for
 small. Serve hot. For one-third muffin batch: Use one
 cup plus one tablespoon dry mix, one egg, 1/2 cup
 sugar, 1/3 cup oil, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 2/3 cup prepared
 fruit or vegetable and 1/3 cup nuts.
