wholegrain bakin

it started w banana chocolate chip muffins. now i am fixated in bakin w wholegrain.

many moons ago, i was lookin for new treats to bake in my good old king arthur flour all-purpose bakebook (can i say i love this bakebook to death?? its simple and homey. sometimes, martha can be too fancy for my taste). i tot i would make something that is different (beside cranberry and walnut). why not banana chocolate chip muffin (fine there is walnut inside but its optional)??

the recipe also called for whole wheat flour (aka wholemeal flour). hmmmm i have never worked w wholemeal before. and seriously wonder how will it affect de taste.

may i say its YUMMY and HEALTHY!! its does not have de usual wholemeal taste (think dry and grainy wholemeal bread). its moist, not too sweet and yet crunchy (when hot).

thus when borders offered de generous 30% off coupon via the straits times, i dashed off and hoping i could grab hold of king arthur flour wholegrain bakin book (second option was de cookie companion). i was so happy. borders got de book!!

i grab hold of de book, checking. check if there is any duplication of recipes w my all-purpose. DUN HAVE!! hehehehehe *grin grin*. de people at king arthur flour are good. i seriously love them. all their books contained v little pictures. but who cares!! there is always a little story behind each recipe. so homey!! so honest. so comforting too.

i went off to vivo today to get some good whole wheat pastry flour. i bear little hope of gettin some. seriously. who on de earth would wanna buy whole wheat pastry flour?? guess what?? de naturally marketplace (owned by cold storage) got leh!! they have a good selection of bob's red mill flour. gosh de collection is enormous. i xiao lu luan chuan man. in de end, i took 2 packs of whole wheat pastry flour and 1 pack of yellow cornmeal.

and tomorrow, i will be makin honey and corn muffin. hehehhee i am damn excited.
