If you’re trying to eat healthier, switching to whole grains is a great step. In many recipes, you can just swap the refined flour for whole wheat without any problems. In some recipes, the result may be too heavy. If that’s the case, try using whole wheat pastry flour instead.
I like using whole wheat flour for certain things. I’ve used it to make cornbread (just swap the white for wheat) and biscuits. Whole wheat homemade bread is delicious and will convince even white bread lovers to try whole grains. And I usually make whole wheat pancakes instead of white.

I’m always looking for more whole wheat recipes. I linked up both recipes I have that use whole wheat flour- Simple Wheat Bread and Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies. Thanks for hosting, I always find delicious recipes from this linky.
I love having so many great recipes to discover! Thanks so much for the link up!
I love your biscuit recipe and make it several times a month. I do it as drop biscuits, though, as I’m too lazy to roll and cut regular ones. 🙂
