Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 0.25 cups molasses
- 1 large egg (or flax egg as a vegan alternative)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or any neutral oil)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, mix the milk, molasses, egg, and olive oil until the ingredients are blended smoothly.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly thick and lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite spreads, soups, or stews.
