Try a new grain
There are so many interesting and tasty grains to try. This week, challenge yourself to visit your local natural foods store and buy a whole grain you’ve never tasted before (e.g. groats, spelt, quinoa, buckwheat). Then, do a little research to find an interesting recipe. Incorporate the grain into a meal for yourself or your family. If you discover a great recipe, share it here.

Neen some good recipe with dark chocolat and whole grain.
Is that possible
I cannot answer that question for you but hope someone does soon, I saw somewhere else here that someone mentioned a cookie with chocolate in it.
I’m going to try cooking a new whole grain in the next couple days, just don’t know which one yet.
The Whole Grains Council is a great resource for finding recipes for all kinds of grains. There are even some recipes for cookies!

Hi Deepa. I mill my own grain and bake most of my own bread products. There is a wonderful chocolate chip recipe on www.breadbeckers.com. Just go to their site and look under recipes. They have a recipe called “Flax Oatmeal Cookie” but if you click on it you will see there is a Chocolate Chip variation there. It is SO GOOD. There is also a recipe for Chocolate Pound Cake which I have not tried not to mention lots of other good recipes. Hope you find this helpful. Kim
Deepa, take a favorite recipe for a lets say, a chocolate muffin.(You can google one, I just tried it) instead of regular white flour substitute with whole grain flour, and the same goes with any other ingredients you would like to change in it too.
I tried spelt, wasn’t bad. It works nicely combined with whole grain flour when baking.
