Fast Healthy Bread Recipe

You know, I always wanted to be the kind of person who makes their own hummus and bakes their own whole wheat bread. So I’m pretty chuffed that I have become this person!

So now I can feel all wholesome and earth-motherish. Well, at least I would if I had some kiddos other than my two cat babies.

Quick

And ‘eating clean’ is quite the popular phrase in diet culture. But depending on which diet camp you’ve found yourself, ‘clean’ can have vastly different meanings. Like for some it means eating plenty of meat but cutting out grains and processed foods. And of course that is not at all what it means in the vegan community.

Simple Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

But anyway, I am not a fan of labelling foods like this because it’s a value judgement, like ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Which some can take to extremes and it can lead to eating disorders (not good).

But that being said, lately it can be hard to find a loaf of bread in the store that doesn’t have a heap of junk in it. There is one particular loaf of wholewheat bread that I bought, and we just didn’t get around to eating it (or throwing it out).

However, it was just as perfectly fresh 3 weeks after purchase as it was on the day I brought it home from the store. Hmmm.

Healthy Moist Banana Bread

So I do like to make some whole wheat bread myself, and when it’s as easy as THIS, then there’s no reason not to! Also check out our other super easy bread recipes, our vegan white bread, vegan soda bread and vegan focaccia.

You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

I have literally never come across a recipe as easy as this. It’s just 5-ingredients, and you don’t even have to knead it.

Seeded Oat Bread (no Kneading!)

In fact, kneading is out with this recipe. You just throw some whole wheat flour, instant yeast and a little salt to a mixing bowl.

Mix in to just combine (no kneading! I’m not going to tell you again you super-keen kneading fan), move it into a greased loaf pan (a little parchment paper on the bottom is also a good idea), cover it and leave it to rise for 20 minutes.

It does all its rising before it even hits the oven. So the height it is when it goes in is pretty much the height it is when it comes out.

Healthy Fast Gluten Free Bread Recipe

I mean really I don’t think it could be easier even if you used a bread machine. Well, I’ve never used a bread machine so I can’t really compare, but with a recipe as easy as this, who needs a bread machine?

And the BEST thing about baking your own whole wheat bread is your whole house smells delicious and you get to eat it warm from the oven.

I mean really if you don’t feel like cooking, just make a loaf of this (it barely counts as ‘cooking’ it’s too easy), and serve it with a huge salad, maybe some roasted garlic hummus and avocado and various other toppings and dinner is done and dusted!

Vegan Banana Bread (easy + Healthy)

Of course it goes immensely well with any homemade soups too! So if you’re having a delicious vegan potato leek soup or vegan tomato soup or vegan lentil soup for dinner, then this is going to be awesome for dipping.

Easy

This recipe is very versatile and has worked great when we’ve switched up the flours. We have tried this recipe as follows and all have worked out great:

It even works with a gluten-free all purpose flour blend. I find that adding a tablespoon or two of olive oil (at the same time as the other wet ingredients) makes the gluten-free version come out softer.

Healthy Morning Glory Quick Bread

It’s best when very fresh (the day of making it) but it will keep for a couple of days in a closed container and it also makes very delicious toast!

You can freeze it, and that’s best done on the day of baking to lock in the freshness. If you freeze it on the second or third day then you can use it for toast straight from the freezer.

One of my favorite things to bake are quick breads. There’s a never-ending variety of recipes to try, they are easy to make and you can eat them for breakfast, as a snack or for dessert. However, as great as they are, some quick breads are loaded with way too much sugar and empty calories. That’s why I’ve collected several healthy quick bread recipes from the Healthy Seasonal Recipes archives, as well as a few of our food blogging buddies.

If you don’t know what a “quick” bread is compared to regular bread, let me back up a bit and explain: quick bread is leavened by either baking powder and or baking soda. Other breads are leavened by yeast which needs a bit of time to get going and rise, hence quick breads are, well, quicker. Quick breads actually encompass a whole category of baked goods that are leavened with “chemical” leaveners, that includes bundts, muffins and other shapes, but today I am focusing just on healthy quick bread loafs.
