How to Use Wheat Germ
- 1). Add wheat germ to your cake, bread and cookie recipes. Instead of using the full amount of flour that a recipe calls for, halve the amount of flour and use wheat germ for the rest. You can also add a tablespoon of wheat germ to waffle and pancake batter.
- 2). Use wheat germ in recipes that call for bread crumbs. You can either use wheat germ instead of the bread crumbs or make a bread crumb-wheat germ combination.
- 3). Sprinkle wheat germ atop casseroles, such as macaroni and cheese, before cooking. Toasted wheat germ makes a nice crunchy crust.
- 4). Use wheat germ to line cake, brownie or bread pans instead of flour. Its mild taste will not disturb the taste of the baked good.
- 5). Sprinkle wheat germ over cereal, ice cream or yogurt.
- 6). Mix a tablespoon of wheat germ into homemade smoothies.
