Okay, I’m like you…BUSY! And sometimes I don’t realize how late it is and how soon I’ll need bread. Yikes! But what can you do…bread takes a couple hours to make….or does it? Well a normal yeast bread, yes, it does take a couple of hours. But you can make a quick bread with no yeast in about an hour. This quick bread has the texture of banana or zucchini bread but all the wonderful flavor wheat. I got this great recipe from The Essential Mormon Celebrations cookbook by Julie Badger Jensen, she is also the author of the Essential Mormon Cookbook.)
Whole-Wheat Quick Bread
1 egg, beaten (1 T. dry egg powder + 2 T. water)
2 c. buttermilk (1/3 c. dry milk powder + 2 c. water + 2 T. vinegar or lemon juice, let sit for 5 minutes)
3 T. molasses or honey
2 T. butter, melted
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
In a bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, molasses or honey, and butter. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, slat and baking powder. Stir well; add to first mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased loaf pan. bake at 400 degrees for about 45-40 minutes, until lightly brown. Cool slightly then turn out of the pan onto a wire rack. Slice while warm. Makes 1 loaf.

Thanks, Crystal
I have the cookbook, but I’ve never tried this recipe. I will definitely be giving it a try. Yeast breads rarely ever work for me. I think, it might be our altitude.

well I think is good to have a recipe that you can do in a hurry
thanks I’ll give it a try!!!!!
it looks easy enough and tasty – but how was it really??? Did you husband really really like it?
LOL! Yes, he did like it. It is very moist and very delicious out of the oven with butter and honey. I think next time I try it I’m going to put in applesauce for the oil. My baby liked it so much that it was hard to take a picture with out her hand in it!
Looks Yummy! My mom is visiting this week! I think I will try it!
applesauce, in place for the oil! YES!
Crystal which whole wheat flour did you use?? White whole wheat or brown/red whole wheat….does it make a difference?
nice to have a quick one. Thanks
Wow, thanks for the recipe. It looks really easy and very quick. I’ll have to try this one out soon.
Thanks for the recipe. I made in last night and the family loved it. I am wondering if you can make it as muffins with frozen berries added?
I made this tonight for dinner and it turned out really salty. I don’t know what I did wrong. It was kind of spongy, like there was too much liquid in the recipe. Maybe I needed more flour? IDK, Help!
I think that if your bread was too salty Julene, it’s possible you may have put in 1 tablespoon salt instead of 1 teaspoon? I found that I needed extra flour, kept adding more (almost double what the recipe said) till the mixture wasn’t so runny.
Oh and by the way our family loved this recipe! My husband thought it was cake
