Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.Modifications:I make two batches at once and add 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips to one loaf for the antioxidant properties. That's my story, anyway. :)Feel free to add your favorite nuts as desired.Because of the whole wheat flour and lack of "fat" in this recipe, I try to under cook it just a little to keep more of the moisture. It turns out pretty well, I think.Number of Servings: 14Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user VINEYARDHUNTER.
