12 Quick Ways To Sneak Whole Grains Into Your Baking

They're delicious too!

With all the donuts and cakes in the world, it can be really hard to make room for healthy foods in our lives. Most of the time, we're just too full on brownies to even think about eating a bowl of oatmeal. That's why pairing baked goods with whole grains is pure genius. It's delicious AND nutritious, folks. And when those baked goods are quickbreads and muffins, it's easy too.

We're not going to go so far as to say these recipes are good for you -- they're still made with sugar and butter. But, at least they'll supply you with a serving of whole grains. And that's a great reason to have yourself another slice of banana bread, or three.

Here are 12 quickbreads and muffins that'll help you sneak whole grains into your life. Bake healthier.
