Hearty Bean Bread

Try serving this offbeat pan bread, studded with pink beans and scallions, with hearty vegetable soups and stews. I especially like this with soups that feature corn and/or squash.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 12 squares

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar
1 cup plain soy yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup rice milk, or more as needed
1 cup canned pink or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
3 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

    Step 2

    Combine the first 7 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together.

    Step 3

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yogurt, oil, and rice milk. Stir until well combined, adding more rice milk as needed to make a smooth, slightly stiff batter. Gently stir in the beans and scallions.

    Step 4

    Pour the mixture into an oiled 9-inch-square baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center tests clean. Let cool slightly; cut into squares and serve warm.
