I have been baking with whole wheat flour for a while now, and have made some pretty tasty food if I do say so myself. I am especially fond of whole-grain, fruit-sweetened quick bread. But each time I take on a new recipe, I wonder why I waited so long to make it! But I do know...I have always been timid when it comes to a major change in my kitchen routine. Making the change to whole wheat baking was not easy, and it was not overnight! I have touched on our journey to whole wheat baking here, and I will say it was not without trial and error(s)!
Today let's make Sugar and Spice Snickerdoodle Bars! You won't be sorry...
