This recipe for Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread with oats, bran, and flax makes my favorite bread machine bread. And if you like the idea of making healthy 100% whole wheat bread at home in the bread machine, you have to try this recipe!
Back in the days when I was following the original South Beach Diet, I spent weeks on a quest to create 100% whole wheat bread, and this Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread was the delicious bread I came up with! I wanted to make bread from scratch using all whole wheat flour, very minimal sugar, and a fair amount of fiber.
The bread you see above is the winning recipe, after seven earlier versions and a lot of helpful suggestions from bloggers, relatives, and even a parent from school! This was a tasty healthy bread recipe that has white whole wheat flour, rolled oats, whet bran, and flaxseed meal, and it has 19 net carbs per slice, which is pretty good for a bread made with whole wheat flour.

When I was trying to eat more whole grains I was a huge fan of White Whole Wheat Flour (affiliate link) which is a made from a white variety of wheat with all the same properties as regular whole wheat flour, but can be used almost interchangeably with white flour, and the White Whole Wheat Flour worked beautifully in this Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread. Here’s more information about white whole wheat flour if you’re not familiar with it.
I know some people might raise their eyebrows when they see agave nectar and brown sugar listed in the ingredients here. There isn’t a lot of either of those ingredients, but they’re needed to “feed” the yeast so it will rise so I don’t recommend replacing them with sweetener.

Years before I became vegetarian, I was trying on vegetarianism as a weight-loss diet and cooking vegetarian dishes out of a popular cookbook of that era. For some reason, the book’s authors recommended cooking whole wheat bread in 2-quart cans, the kind juice comes in, and I followed that advice. (With what we know today about BPA, I shudder to think what leached into that bread.)
In those early days of my bread making, there was no white whole wheat flour, no vital wheat gluten, no bread machine, just me and my muscles and the most basic whole wheat flour, and the tube-shaped loaves I created were better suited for weight lifting that eating. My bread made even avowed bread-lovers like my parents run the other way when they’d see me stagger up their driveway with a basketful of heavy, brown cylinders.
First of all, I let my new bread machine do all the kneading, shaping, and even baking (in a rectangular pan, thank you very much). And I’ve learned that white whole wheat flour makes a much lighter loaf than traditional whole wheat flour and that vital wheat gluten helps trap more air bubbles so the bread rises higher. Finally, thanks to a tip by Philippa Sonnichsen, a reader of this , I found that one small substitution makes an even better loaf of whole wheat bread. And that secret ingredient is…

…bean broth. Or aquafaba, as people have started to call it. It’s simply the liquid in a can of beans or the broth that’s created when dried beans, usually chickpeas, are cooked. As it turns out, the liquid that most of us have been pouring down the sink can be whipped into meringues and used to replace eggs in lots of recipes. If you want to see some amazing uses of aquafaba, check out the Facebook group where I first learned about it.
We’ve been told for years to rinse the liquid off our canned beans (because it tastes bad, because it contains too much salt, because…), and though I do use the liquid from a can of chickpeas in my Hummus in the Blender, I was really reluctant to go much farther with aquafaba. The meringues and other desserts made with it depend on sugar to hold their shape once they’re whipped, so I couldn’t see any healthy uses for bean water. But when Philippa wrote to tell me that chickpea broth was improving the quality of her homemade bread, I just had to give it a try.
First I substituted it for the water in the bread I’d been making with a blend of whole wheat flour and bread flour, and it was a definite improvement. Then I decided to put it to the test in 100% whole wheat bread, and I was amazed. The whole wheat bread was almost identical in height to the bread made with a blend of flours, and though its texture was a little denser, the difference was hardly noticeable.

I used the liquid from two cans of chickpeas in the following recipe, which gave me about 1 2/3 cups of aquafaba. I topped it off with water to get the full amount of liquid needed for the recipe. (I used the chickpeas to make 3-Minute Chickpea Salad.) The chickpeas I had were salted, so I reduced the amount of salt in the recipe to account for that.
This recipe should work in machines that will make a 2-pound loaf of bread. For best results, add the ingredients in the order suggested in your machine’s manual.
Stir flour before measuring. Use nesting measuring cups and spoon flour into cups until over the top. Level by sweeping across the top with a knife.

If you’d rather not use chickpea broth, I understand, and the recipe will still make a great loaf of bread. But if you give aquafaba a try–in this recipe or any bread recipe–leave a comment to let me know what you think.
