Spoon batter into prepared pans; spread evenly. If desired, sprinkle with additional seeds and nuts. Bake in a 350° oven for 55 to 60 minutes for the 9x5-inch loaves, 45 to 50 minutes for the 8x4-inch loaves or 40 to 45 minutes for the 7 1/2x3-inch loaves, or until a toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; remove parchment. Cool completely on wire racks. For easier slicing, wrap in foil and store overnight before slicing.
