½ cup medium grind whole cornmeal

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

1 cup white flour, unbleached

  4. Bake at 400°F for 15-18 minutes.

How’d it Taste?

  • Cammie says:

    When nearly half of your flour is refined, this is not a whole wheat recipe!

    • csluyter says:

      Hi Cammie – Thanks for your feedback. With ½ cup whole cornmeal and 1½ cups whole wheat flour, this recipe is 2/3 whole grain. While those of us accustomed to eating and baking with whole grains regularly are more inclined to use 100% whole grain, many of the visitors to our website are just beginning their whole grain journey. For some, beginning to swap out some of the refined grain for whole grain is a really good way to become familiar with the fuller, nuttier flavor of whole grains. That said, this recipe can absolutely be made with 100% whole grain flour! Simply use ½ cup of whole cornmeal and 2½ cups of whole wheat flour.
