7. Recipes • What is a grain weight calculation? • All recipe ingredients are converted from volumes to grams • How do you use a grain weight calculation? • The weight of the combined whole flour/grains has to be greater than the weight of any other single ingredient • For a recipe to be considered creditable it must contain no less than 14.75 grams of enriched or whole grain meal flour per serving

8. Recipes • Grain Weight Calculation Muffin Recipe 1 ¾ C Whole Grain (WG) flour = 220.5 grams 2 C granulated sugar = 256 grams 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder =not a major ingredient 1 large egg =50 grams ¾ C milk =180.75 grams 1/3 C vegetable oil =68.97 grams WG flour 220.5 grams < granulated sugar 256 grams

9. Recipes Grain Weight Table Muffin Recipe 1 ¾ C. WG flour = 220.5 grams ¼ C. granulated sugar =49 grams 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder =not a major ingredient 1 large egg =50 grams ¾ C. milk =180.75 grams 1/3 C. vegetable oil =68.97 grams WG flour 220.5 grams > milk 180.75 grams 220.5 grams WG flour ÷ 14.75 grams = 14.9 servings This means the most servings from this recipe can be 14 (must be rounded down) in order to meet the grain requirement
