Brown Bread- High Fiber & Low Calorie



Hope you are all having an awesome start to your weekend :)

After my no rise bread experience many of you lovely bloggies provided me with some kick-ass bread recipes. I could not help myself but give this sweet bread a shot, thanks Ercia for the recipe!

Brown Bread


  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup honey 
  • 1 1/2 cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup dates, I chopped up 6 dates  
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar, add to milk

1. In a separate bowl combine egg and honey and mix together. 



2. In a larger bowl mix in all dry ingredients. 
3. Add honey & egg mixture to the dry ingredients. 




4. Add milk & vinegar to bowl. 
5. Add chopped up dates, raisins, or walnuts. I chopped up about 6 dates, and added a bit of walnuts that I had. 


6. Pour mixture into a 9x5 bread pan. 
7. Place in oven at 350 degrees for about 40- 45 minutes. 


The result : 



As you can see this bread was welcomed by the family ;) 

I really enjoyed it! This bread is not only good but it is high in fiber and low in calories. The bread makes 12 servings and  I calculated that per serving this bread has about 130 calories, not too shabby huh! 

How has your weekend been so far?

  3. Oh my goodness that bread looks simply devine! And I have a penchant for dates-it's difficult for me to buy them though because they are so calorie dense and have such a high sugar content, and I inevitably end up eating too many! Hopefully you have more self-control than I do :)
