#Wholegrains are an important part of a #healthydiet, as they are a good source of #fiber, #healthyfats, #vitamins, #minerals, and #antioxidants. Studies show that whole grain consumption is linked to lower levels of #rheumatoidarthritis, #asthma, and #ulcerativearthritis, as well as a reduced risk of #coronaryarterydisease.

In recent years, the range of whole grains available on the market has dramatically increased and includes #barley, #spelt, #quinoa, #buckwheat, and #brownrice.

After trying unsuccessfully to #veganize my mom's coffee cake recipe, I've now made the #vegan #CoffeeCake from #NoraCooks a handful of times and every time people have liked it a lot.

I modify the recipe slightly by substituting #wholegrain #spelt #flour for the all-purpose flour and reducing the #brownsugar in the topping by a bit.
