Laurel's Kitchen Whole Wheat Quick Bread
"I adapted this recipe from the Laurel's kitchen recipe. Not a sweet loaf, if you want to sweeten it up, add 6 tbsp brown sugar instead of the molasses. The original recipe calls for wheat germ, but I substituted ground flax seed for the wheat germ, and reduced the oil called for by half. This makes a nice high loaf in an 8" x 4 1/2" loaf pan.You can substitute any other favourite nut for the cashews."

So I left out the flax seed and nuts and used 1/4 cup honey instead of the molasses and it came out really good. Definitely made me feel like my decision to stop buying sandwich bread and making my own was the right one. -
My family and I really enjoyed this bread. I made it exactly as written. It was nice to serve a good, healthy bread. This was extremely easy, too. Thanks.
