½ cup honey
1 cup skim milk
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup sugar (or ½ teaspoon liquid Stevia)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Celtic salt
¾ cup chopped pecans
1 egg, beaten
Combine the honey and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until honey dissolves. Stir in the olive oil. Remove from heat and let cool. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the pecans and toss to coat. Whisk the egg into the cooled milk mixture. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Beat just until blended. Pour into a lightly greased and floured loaf pan and smooth top. Bake at 350 degrees for 65 to 75 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack.
Yield: 1 loaf
