Receta Three-Grain Almond Bread
This three-grain almond bread, more a quick bread, reminds me of coconut sweet bread. When I first got this recipe, I felt I had to try it, but I did not expect the delicious results I got. The thing about it it that it does not contain any sugar – and you actually don’t miss the the sugar. The sweetness in it is natural, from the raisins.
The Three Grains in this Bread
The three grains in this bread is wheat flour, oatmeal and cornmeal. These whole grains make this three grain bread a healthy option, especially when compared to the commercialized white breads. This way you end up eating less refined carbohydrates and include more whole-grain in your diet. Whole grains are a great source of fiber and a number of nutrients such as selenium, potassium and magnesium.

Combine flour, oats, cornmeal, dry milk, sugar, almond powder, baking powder and salt.

Cut in the butter until mixture consists of small particles.
