5 Days Series: Tried and Tested Whole Wheat Recipes

Join my friends and I as we spend 5 days together, exploring a variety of topics all related to mothering and homemaking!

Welcome back to 5 Days with Whole Wheat Flour! If you’ve missed any of the posts in the series, here they are:

•  different types of wheat available,
• why you should choose whole wheat
•  benefits of grinding your own wheat
• tips for baking with whole wheat flour

I’m going to close out the series by leaving you with a list of tried-and-true recipes that utilize whole wheat flour. Some of them consist entirely of 100% whole wheat, some only partial. Some are from my blog, many are from blogs I read and love. But they all have one thing in common: they are tested recipes that work. Most of them I have made myself on more than one occasion; the others come from trusted sources that have found them to be reliable. Keep this list handy, because you will need it!

At the end of the post, I’ve included a link-up so you can add your own favorite whole wheat recipes! Add as many as you like, just make sure they’re recipes you can recommend to anyone. And share with your friends – the more recipes we have, the more comprehensive the resource.
