A Quick and Easy Brown Bread

There is something about this brown bread that got me thinking of Christmas.  So when it was done, I found myself making these mini bread servings topped with tomato, cheese and a pickled cucumber .  I couldn’t wait to have my fill of it.  It was tasty, comforting and my mouth begged for more.

A Healthy Brown Bread Recipe

Now, the first time I saw the recipe for this bread I felt I had to make it –  there was no sugar, and it had the smooth creaminess of buttermilk.  This bread is a healthy option for the bread-lover and the fitness fanatic. 

For this reason I invite you to try the recipe below.  Of course,  I made adjustments to the original (it was posted in one of my E-book giveaways, My Life My Diet). Of course you’ll have to subscribe to get it.  Another recipe from the book was the sugarless (fruit) cake, and you all know how that one went down.  I tell you these are two recipes I will definitely make this Christmas, mostly because they are tasty and quick to prepare.

So here is another quick and easy recipe for the health conscious.
