Whole Wheat Apple Oat Bread

I had been feeding one of my starters only whole wheat flour and it was time to back!

I decided to try apple oat bread.. so I used only applesauce instead of oil, only whole wheat flour, omitted the pudding mix and added cut up apple (I used about a 1/2 apple but wish I had used the whole thing!) and about a cup of oatmeal (could have done more and reduced the flour)

I then subbed agave syrup for the sugar (about 1/4 of what it calls for)

The result was a decent bread.. it could have used more flavor, perhaps cinnamon applesauce, more apples and if I had ground the oats and replaced some of the whole wheat flour, but for a "healthy" bread it was pretty good!

Low Sugar Chocolate Bread

Wednesday was baking day, and I had two breads to make! 1 from the regular amish starter and 1 from a whole wheat amish starter.

Since a friend wanted her own basic starter I made a small loaf with that batch and I'd been craving chocolate so I decided to try a "healthy" chocolate bread :)

I got sugar free pudding mix (chocolate fudge) - I used applesauce instead of oil - I then used Agave Syrup for the sugar (I used a little under half of what it called for) - I did add a few chocolate chips and a some pecans...

After fudging with the milk a little I was a little worried, the "dough" was awful thick for what I was used to, but I decided to try it.

After baking and cutting into it (HOT) I found pockets of green, I think it was the agave mixing with the nuts, but .. either way.. though a little odd, it tasted GOOD and was a good substitute for the chocolate cake I was craving :)
