Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 100 g Reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 75 g Turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tbsp Chopped chives
- 3 large Egg whites
- 250 ml Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Add the shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, and chopped chives to the flour mixture. Toss until all mix-ins are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, low-fat buttermilk, olive oil, and honey until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve as a delightful low-fat accompaniment to soups and salads, or enjoy on its own as a savory snack.
