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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, low-fat buttermilk, olive oil, and honey until well combined.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 9
Slice and serve as a delightful low-fat accompaniment to soups and salads, or enjoy on its own as a savory snack.
