Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Egg whites
- 250 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 60 grams Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Walnuts
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, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Chop the walnuts into small pieces and add them to the flour mixture. Mix until the walnuts are coated with flour, which helps distribute them evenly in the batter.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy. Add in the low-fat milk, honey, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice to your desired thickness and serve. Enjoy your low-fat walnut bread as is or with a spread of your choice.
