How funny… I just tried the same with a banana bread recipe that I have. Mine was a success too. Not sure what brand of pastry flour I use, but I’ll be checking out this one for sure!

I use whole wheat flour a lot but haven’t really thought much of using the pastry variety. That makes so much sense with the lower gluten! Great idea! I’m putting it on my grocery list. And if the whole contacting-the-company-for-a-giveaway works, I might just try it with my own item, i.e. James McAvoy. I bet I can get a few takers with that kind of giveaway.

Adorable little guy! I haven’t seen this brand before, but I love that it can be swapped for the same amount of white flour… usually, you can’t do that.

I use whole wheat pastry flour for 90% of my baking. I like making cookies that taste delicious, and are healthy for my kids.

It’s been years since I actually ground my own flour, but we buy whole wheat pastry flour all the time in bulk (Whole Foods or Smith’s) and it is great in Waffles and tortillas. I’ll have to try the Arrowhead Mills stuff too. It almost seems to good to be true, doesn’t it?

I grind my own whole wheat pastry flour and love the flavor in everything from muffins, pancakes, spice cakes etc. Cookies and cakes should always be made with white thought.
