It’s been a few months, but I am back to participating in Bread Bakers – a group of bread baking food bloggers. Pavani of Cook’s Hideout is hosting this month with the theme of healthy breads. For this month, I made a 100% whole grain sweet bread. It’s just barely sweet so perfect for breakfast; not the cloying sweetness of some sweet breads where they taste more like cake than bread. This Sweet Potato Millet Bread is perfect to start the day with, along with your morning cup of coffee
I baked it in small pans which is why my slices are so small, trying to exercise portion control. We’ll see if it works – 🙂 However, you can bake it in a regular loaf pan.

How could I make this GF? Sub oat flour and almond flour for the WW? Thanks for any suggestions.
yes oat flour or almond flour could be substituted with maybe 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to help in bind with the gluten free flours.
