This whole wheat honey brown bread is yeast-free and requires no-kneading. Simply mix all the ingredients together and bake!
Oh and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!! Last year I made Irish Soda Bread to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and I decided to continue the tradition.
Only this year I went a tiny bit healthier and made a loaf of honey whole wheat brown bread. Brown bread is another Irish classic, however it’s made with whole wheat flour. I used a recipe from the Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook as a guide but made a few changes by using Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk and swapping honey for the molasses.
The bread turned out to be a nice, dense and slightly sweet loaf. Perfect for late night snacking breakfast. 🙂
This morning I knew I wanted to have a slice of the sweet brown bread but I also needed a little something more so I topped it with a little almond butter and paired it with a hard boiled egg and a navel orange. Perfection!
My second choice for St. Patrick’s day breakfast would have been a green smoothie. Maybe I’ll opt to have one of those tonight instead of the green beer that Isaac bought.
Do you have an St. Patty’s Day plans. So far I have none…
I think regular all purpose flour would work fine, but I’m not 100% because I’ve only tested this recipe with whole wheat flour. Let me know if you try it.
Haha nope, no St. Paddy’s day madness here… I spent the night eating in with my fiancee and watching Dexter on Netflix streaming. I am quickly becoming an old fart 🙂
That bread looks so fabulous!
My St. Patty’s day is now over, as it is Friday where I am, but
I just stayed at home and enjoyed some Guinness stew and
potatoes. It was perfect.
That bread looks delicious! So many things I need to try baking..
& I’m right there with you on the time change messing up my sleep; I haven’t been able to get up for the gym AT ALL this week; my alarm starts going off at 4:59 and I haven’t gotten up before 7 all week.
Just want to say that I love this post on St. Patty’s sweet brown bread. I love the fact that you used whole wheat flour! It is so much more healthy and you can make a mean dish out of it! Which you did! This bread looks absolutely yummy! I take my hat off to you…
I love the hard boil egg and naval orange with it! You are right, very good for a late night snacking breakfast!
Thank you for sharing this and I will be sure to come back for more.
This looks so good! I’ve been wanting to try baking using healthier substitutes so this might be a good recipe to ease me into it.
And I felt SO much better after we worked out this morning, I have to remind myself of that feeling when I’m laying in my comfy bed not wanting to move 🙂

Where is the nutritional info? I’m on WW and would like to calculate the points.
Can i use a different kind of flour for this recipe? For example regular white flour or oatmeal flour?
