Go-To Whole Grain Recipes

January 31, 2014 by Aliesha


I post a lot of recipes made with whole grains, so I thought today I’d share which ones are my “go-to,” all-time-favorite whole grain recipes!  These are the recipes I make over and over again and feel totally comfortable making for company, taking to potlucks or family gatherings, or giving to friends.

Best Loaf Bread

Foolproof Whole Wheat Bread
I love making this bread and it really is foolproof (as long as you remember the yeast!).  This is a great recipe to start with if you’re new to making yeast breads.  It’s absolutely delicious and so healthy for you!

Best “Company” Bread

Rosemary Peasant Bread
Great for company and for holidays, this bread is easy enough to make on a regular basis too!  We love, LOVE this bread and everyone we’ve made it for has liked it as well.

Best Biscuits

Whole Wheat Whipping Cream Biscuits
I make biscuits to go with dinner quite often, and this is my favorite recipe.

Best Cornbread

Whole Grain Cornbread
This cornbread is delicious paired with chili, ham soup, gumbo or jambalaya, pinto beans & rice, and many more meals!  It’s really fast to make.

Best Pancakes

Whole Wheat Pancakes (with optional Strawberry Sauce)
This is the recipe I turn to every time I make pancakes.  They’re great topped with blueberry sauce (or just butter and honey) too!

Best Cookies

Real Food Chocolate Chip Cookies
For a dessert, these are pretty healthy.  With natural sweeteners, coconut oil, and mostly whole wheat flour, these are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Best Pizza Crust

Whole Wheat Italian Herb Garlic Pizza Crust
We have pizza almost every week, and this is the crust recipe I always make.  It has great flavor and pairs wonderfully with TONS of topping combinations!

Best Pie Crust

Whole Grain Pie Crust
When I make a pie crust, this is my go-to recipe.  It’s light even though it’s made with whole grains.  The recipe is great for sweet or savory pies!

Do you enjoy baking with whole grains as much as I do?
