Brown Butter Double Chocolate Whole Wheat Bread (Guest Post)

Today we are welcoming Megan Wolf, from The Domesticated Wolf, to share a delicious bread recipe with you all. This may be the perfect addition to Easter brunch this weekend or a fun recipe to help make with the kids!

As a Registered Dietitian and avid baker, I am always experimenting with different flours, sugars and oils. Brown butter imparts an amazingly full flavor, and it couldn’t be easier! I’m a big fan of whole wheat flour for its nutty flavor and boosted nutritional profile. But realistically, some families do not use whole wheat flour and children (and adults!) may be unfamiliar with the flavor and texture of whole wheat baked goods. A great way to ease into whole wheat (and other whole grain products) is to substitute part of the recipe’s all-purpose (white) flour for whole wheat. This recipe works well using all white flour, half white and half whole wheat or all whole wheat.
