A tea bread that is truly good for your body and your spirit (because you’ll beef no guilt for enjoying it!). Even though it’s made with whole wheat it has a light texture and almost flakiness in the crust portion. While I made this using a 9×5 loaf pan this time, I now recommend a, 8×4 loaf pan. That is what I’ll use the next time.

MAKES: 12 servings
INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup non hydrogenated margarine, for a healthy heart
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract or 1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup fat free yogurt, plain
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 walnuts, chopped (I use pecans)
1 cup blueberries (tossed with 2 tablespoons flour)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Cream the butter and honey until smooth.
Add egg whites, beating well.
Add the lemon extract or zest, allspice and cinnamon – mixing well.
Add yogurt and mix.
Mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda together.
Slowly beat into the egg mixture.
Fold in the blueberries and nuts.
Bake in a greased loaf pan @ 375F for 40-50 minutes or until a tested comes out clean.

NOTE:
No need to wait till summer to enjoy this yummy bread. Frozen berries work just fine.
