Recipe type: Quick Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 cups 100% whole wheat flour (I use white hard wheat for its “sweeter taste”
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (I use buttermilk powder in accordance with the directions on the package)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil, butter, olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Options:
  • 1 to 1½ cups diced fresh fruit, dried fruit, cheese, olives, carrots, zucchini, or pretty much anything else.
  • Herbs and/or spices
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Apply a light coating of coconut oil to your pans. I prefer silicone pans because they are so easy to use and the bread always comes out evenly browned.
  3. Mix all of the dry ingredients.
  4. If using them, add the optional ingredients. I used Cheddar Cheese in the bread you see in the photos. The choice is yours, however. Mix and match or make it plain.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the oil (or melted butter), buttermilk and egg.
  6. Hint: If you are using powdered buttermilk, add the powder to the dry ingredients and the water with the remaining wet ingredients. This will save you from having to reconstitute the powdered buttermilk.
  7. Gently stir everything together until a all of the flour has been incorporated. Do not over mix. The batter will appear wet and choppy looking.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for ~45-50 minutes. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes then remove from the pan. Allow to cool before slicing.
