I will add some posts to this tomorrow as well.
I have found a really dense, healthy bread from Germany that has sunflowers in it - it is called Mestemacher and they make a few different types. Look in the 'ethnic' section of your grocery, if they have one.
I toast a slice and top it with a big spoonful of natural peanutbutter that i have mixed a scoopful of ON whey protein into (flavorless)

Sweet potato bread with flaxseed and honey
This is from a Cooking Light cookbook, my daughter and I made this and everyone really liked it - even my no-sweet-potato-eating daughter!
1/3c flaxseed
2c all-purpose flour
1tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 oz (1/4c) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp butter, softened
1/4c brown sugar splenda, packed (or 1/2c reg brown sugar, packed)
1/4c honey
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1c mashed sweet potatoes (we used the canned kind that are not packed in syrup)
cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Place flaxseed in a clean coffee grinder or blender and process until coarsely ground. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with knife. Combine flaxseed, flour, baking powder,baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center of mixture. Beat cream cheese and next 5 ingredients in a seperate bowl; stir in sweet potato. Add to flour mixture, stirring until just moist (it is pretty thick, not like batter at all).
3. spoon into an 8X4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. cool 10 minutes in pan on wire rack, remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
Makes 16 servings (1/2 inch slices)

This is from the Quick and Easy South Beach Cookbook - I like them a lot. My family ate them but probably wouldn't request them, lol. They stay pretty moist and are sweet enough for me.

Gagirl's whole wheat english muffins
1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk
1 tablespoon sugar ( I use 2-4 packs of splenda could use honey too)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening ( I use smart balance)
1 cup hot water
1 envelope dry yeast (2.5 Teaspoons bread machine yeast at room temp)
1/8 teaspoon sugar ( the yeasty beastys need this)
1/3 cup warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted ( I use 100% stone ground whole wheat flour)
Non-stick vegetable spray
Special equipment: electric griddle, 3-inch metal rings, see Cook's Note*
In a bowl combine the powdered milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, shortening, and hot water, stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Let cool. In a separate bowl combine the yeast and 1/8 teaspoon of sugar in 1/3 cup of warm water and rest until yeast has dissolved. Add this to the dry milk mixture. Add the sifted flour and beat thoroughly with wooden spoon. Cover the bowl and let it rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes. ( I let mine rise for 45-60 min they dont seem as dense)
Preheat the griddle to 300 degrees F.
Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt to mixture and beat thoroughly. Place metal rings onto the griddle and coat lightly with vegetable spray. Using #20 ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops into each ring and cover with a pot lid or cookie sheet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the lid and flip rings using tongs. Cover with the lid and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a cooling rack, remove rings and cool. Split with fork and serve.
*Cooks note... or use tuna cans top n bottom cut out. I also spread the dough out with my fingers in the "ring" spray fingers down with oil first! Oh you can add cinnamon.. raisens(yuck) Wheat Germ added is interesting.
