cheese and spinach. You can cut down on the oil when you add cheese as
it contributes its own fat.

I must try cheese and olives. Cheese and finely chopped onion might go
well, too.

I've used mashed pumpkin and poppy seeds, but cut down on the water
since pumpkin is mostly water.

Two teaspoons of molassas or treacle will give a nice golden colour,
and add flavour. Cut back on the sugar if you do.

There are plenty of nuts you can add: sesame, poppy, sunflower, and
even the small pumpkin seeds -- the knife slices clean through them.

I include half a teasp of ground ginger in every loaf (I make a grain
loaf) as I like the tang of ginger.

I did try adding garlic (two packaged cubes) into a loaf, but all
evidence of garlic flavour disappeared during the baking cycle! So I
can recommend only adding it to the butter that you will spread onto
the warm slices after baking. 

The possible additions are limited only by your imagination!
