Variations: 6/30/16
Using above basic recipe and changing up a few things you can have completely different breads still delicious. Except for the changes below everything remains the same.
#2 oil used was coconut, 1 1/2 cup sprouted wheat (one degree), 1/2 cup buckwheat, 1/2 cup hemp, (I also used 1 tsp each soda and baking powder) 1/4 cup dark cocoa, (4 bananas)
#3 oil used was avocado oil, 1/2 cup flax with Nopal (cactus) from Kania Linaza, 1/4 cup diced small Incan Berries, 4 bananas, 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, topping it off with a sprinkle off with sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Delish!
Incan Berries link from Renegade - I bought my through Thrive from Divine Organics.
Kania Linza Canadian Flax with Mexican Nopal purchased at Lees Rite-way in Thatcher, AZ though I don't know if they still carry it, I keep in the frig - in fact I keep as much as I can fit in the frig.
