1-1/2 Cups Gluten Free Flour (I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour)
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt

1 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 Cup Sugar

Toss with 1 TBL Gluten Free Flour
Using a Rubber Spatula fold in the Blueberry's just until combined

Grease or Spray a 9X5 Loaf Pan
Pour the Batter into the Loaf Pan

Bake 55-65 minutes or until done
I use a digital thermometer, when it reaches an internal temperature of 205-210* the Bread is done

Cool in the pan in a wire rack for 10 Minutes

Remove from the pan and place on the wire rack.
Completely cool before Cutting and Serving.

Optional ~ (I find the bread sweet enough, I don't add a glaze)
To make a Glaze ~ 
Using Confectioner Sugar with a little Lemon Juice. Whisk together
and pour over the Cooled Bread

If you would like Muffins ~
Grease or use Muffin Tin Liners
Fill 2/3 Full
Bake 20-25 Minutes or until Done
Cool for 5 minutes. Remove from the Muffin pan and cool completely on wire rack
The Bread stays fresh for several days.
The Bread and Muffins can be frozen. I slice the Bread and wrap each piece individually, and same for the Muffins. Store in a Container or Ziplock Bag

Radish Sprouts in a Mason Jar ~ Step by Step Instructions ~ Sprouting for Beginners



I started Sprouting over 3 years ago. It's very rewarding. The Sprouts taste great and are easy to grow.

In this video I will show you step by step directions on how to grow Radish Sprouts in a Mason Jar.


The Radish Seeds I use:

Rainbow Radish Sprouting Seeds Mix | Heirloom Non-GMO Seeds for Sprouting & Microgreens | Contains Red Arrow, Purple Triton & White Daikon Radish Seeds 1 lb. Resealable Bag | Rainbow Heirloom Seed Co.


Video Chapters ~ Radish Sprouts

0:00 Intro ~ How to Sprout Radish Sprouts in a Mason Jar

0:13 Mason Jar I use ~ 24 Ounce Dark Brown Jars

0:33 Screen Top for Mason Jars or use Cheesecloth with an Elastic

0:56 Soak Day ~ View of the Radish Seeds ~ Place 2 TBL in the Jar ~ Fill halfway with water ~ Rinse seeds to remove any particles ~ Then strain water

1:21 Radish Seeds have been rinsed ~ Fill jar halfway to three quarters full with water ~ Soak for 12 Hours or Overnight

1:33 I number each jar ~ Using Duct Tape as a label

1:43 Day 1 of Radish Sprouts ~ Seeds have soaked 12 Hours ~ Drain Water and rinse ~ View of Seeds

1:57 I use a Plate Holder to hold the Mason Jar at an angle upside down ~ Place in a small bowl 

2:26 Day 1 of Radish Sprouts ~ Leave for 12 Hours ~ Repeat rinse/drain/back in holder bowl

2:44 Rinse Sprouts twice a day ~ Approximately 12 hours apart

2:59 Day 2 Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder-bowl ~ Twice a day

3:34 Day 3 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day

3:54 Day 4 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day

4:15 Day 5 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day

4:37 Leave jar on Counter out of direct Sunlight

4:49 Day 6 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day ~ Takes 5-7 days to Sprout the Radishes ~ The Temperature can affect how fast or slow they Sprout

5:03 Test taste the Radish Sprouts starting at day 5 ~ To check their taste and how long you want them to be ~ Personal preference how long you would like them to Sprout

5:16 Day 6 Harvest the Radish Sprouts ~ Place the Sprouts in a Salad Spinner ~ Fill with Water ~ Rinse and Drain ~  This helps remove a lot of the Hulls. There will still be some hulls left, they are ok to eat. If your don't have a Salad Spinner use a Strainer

5:42 Repeat Salad Spinner 2 more times and Spin Dry 

6:31 Day 6 After you Spin the Sprouts, place them on a few Paper Towels by a Sunny Window for 30 minutes to help them dry further and they will green up a little more

6:55 Place the Dry Radish Sprouts in a Container lined with Paper Towels

7:05 I don't use cloth towels for the Sprouts as I don't want the scent of Laundry Soup or Fabric Softener to get on the Sprouts

7:16 Label the Container and place in the Refrigerator ~ Sprouts last refrigerator 5-7 days (Always check to make sure they aren't slimy or smell bad)

7:27 My favorite lunch ~ I use my Homemade Flax Seed Crackers ~ Link below ~ Spread the Crackers with some Hummus ~ Top with Radish Sprouts ~ Serve with Cheese and Veggies

7:42 Radish Sprouts are delicious in Salads and Sandwiches
