Clean Eating: Whole Wheat Bread (Bread Machine or Oven)

Clean Eating Whole Wheat Bread

      -          1 ½ teaspoon sea salt

-          1 ½ teaspoon dry yeast (in the packet)

-          3 cup whole wheat flour

-          1 banana (the more brown the better)

-          3 tbsp honey

-          1 1/8 c warm water

-          1 tablespoon coconut oil (comes in a jar and looks like wax, I got mine at Trader Joes)

o   You could also probably use butter/margarine/canola-vegetable-olive oil)

You can make this several ways:

1-Mix all of these in the bread maker and cook it on the light or medium whole wheat bread setting

2- Put all ingredients in bread maker and run on dough cycle, then cook in the oven at 350* for 40 minutes.

3- Mix all ingredients by hand.  Cover with a cool cloth and wait about an hour until the bread has risen.  Cook at 350* for 40 minutes.

I ate one piece with Skippy Natural peanut butter (peanuts and <1% salt and other ingredients) and 1 slice with strawberry spread, no sugar added. Both were DELICIOUS.

I found the recipe below and changed it up at bit:
