Jalapeno Cheddar Bread



This incredibly easy to bake bread is full of jalapeno flavor, without much of the heat. Using pickled jalapenos greatly cuts down on the spiciness fresh jalapenos usually have.


I baked this bread to go along with this turkey plantain lasagna recipe. They went great together. You can also enjoy a piece of this bread as a snack or get creative and use it as a sandwich bread.


This bread is not only delicious, it's healthy too! Made with a combination of whole wheat flours, egg whites, greek yogurt and almond milk, this bread has tons of protein and flavor.


I'm sure I'll be snacking on this bread for the next few days. It is a great healthy snack to have on hand. I hope you enjoy it!

  1. If you wanted to make smaller loaves, any idea how to modify the timing?
