Home made bread brings me joy

Oatmeal wheat bread

I made this bread this weekend...I forgot to add the salt so I accidentally made low sodium bread and it is way tasty! I also used bestlife instead of butter and I used 3.5 cups of a white bred mix plus 2.5 cups whole wheat flour...I am trying to use up random stuff I have in the house...I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and skim milk....I could have replaced the 1 egg with 1/4 cup egg beaters most likely but I didn't....so check out the nutrition facts!

per loaf:

calories:2957.25
fat: 138.25 g
sat fat: 24.25 g
cholesterol: 112.5 g
sodium: 1552.5mg
carb: 363.25
fiber: 29.75
sugar: 81 g
protein: 71.5 g
Potassium: 500 mg
vit A: 43%
Vit C: 46%
Vit D:25%
Vit E: 20%
Calcium: 41%
Iron: 90%
Thiamine: 70%
Riboflavin: 42%
niacin: 42%
Magnesium: 3%

You can divide up the loaf as you see fit....I am thinking you should be able to get at least 20 slices per loaf


I am also trying out bestlife buttery baking sticks

no trans fat
less sat fat than butter
lower calorie and fat
no cholesterol
and lower sodium than salted butter although I usually by salt free butter
doesn't have a bad flavor
not sure if it better for you than butter...but I figure I need to give new things a try

I bought some of the bestlife butter at walmart (I was looking for plain old light butter but they didn't have any) and I'm having a lot of trouble using it in my diet cookies. Whenever I use light butter or nut butter and follow the recipe on my blog, it works fine, but with the bestlife stuff, I ALWAYS end up with clumps no matter what I do!!!
I was just wondering if it was only me...
