Notes
- I use organic brown and regular sugar for this recipe.
- If you're out of brown sugar, you can make your own by mixing 1 tablespoon of molasses with 1 cup of white sugar.
- You can use hard red wheat or even hard white wheat flour rather than soft white, if you'd like. It will just be a tad more grainy, but it will still turn out really well.
- New to baking with whole grain flour? You can learn everything you need to know in my articles on how to mill your own flour and how to bake with whole grains.
- I like to note with all of my whole grain recipes that investing in a high-quality grain mill is 100% worth it to improve the texture of your bakes. I use the Mockmill professional grain mill and love it.
