Nourishing Breakfast Foods

Over at the Nourishing Gourmet, they are posting some really delicious and nourishing breakfast recipes!  I personally find breakfast to be one of the hardest meals to prepare for.  I just can’t seem to get motivated or excited about it!! One recipe that I do love though, is Dutch Breakfast Bread.  You can obviously make it ahead of time, and you just slice it up in the morning.  It’s delicious with a side of fresh fruit.  Here is the recipe:

Dutch Breakfast Bread:

2 cups whole wheat flour

1/3 tsp. salt

1/4 cup brown sugar (or rapadura)

1 cup plain yogurt

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp. baking soda

1/3 cup honey

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/3 tsp. nutmeg

1/3 tsp. ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350F.  Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the liquid ingredients together until well blended.  Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until moistened.  Pour batter into an oiled loaf pan ad bake for 50-50 mins. or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and remove from pan.  Set on a rack to cool.  Serve with butter.

    YAY for breakfast bread that does not include raisins!

    haha. So true Julie!! Many people don’t like them. I like this breakfast bread because you can easily put jam, butter, or eat it plain! AND it’s just as good as a snack, or even as a dessert. You could totally add a little ice cream or something like that with it!

    I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for the comment on my breakfast bread recipe and for stopping by my blog. I will have to try your Dutch breakfast bread. It sounds delicious and I’m with the poster above — no raisins, yay!
