1/4cupmilk (any kind)

Lemon Glaze
1/2cuppowdered sugar
1 to 2Tbsplemon juiceor use half milk for a less sour glaze
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a standard 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. I like to place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom and up the sides like a "sling" so the loaf is easy to remove.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the remaining ingredeints together until combined. (Tip: measure the oil in a 1/4 cup measuring cup then measure the honey in there twice. It will come out really easily.)
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined and no dry flour remains. It's ok if there are some lumps in the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to even out the top.
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.
Lemon Glaze
Add powdered sugar to a small bowl. Stir in the lemon juice (or milk) a little at a time until you get a thick but pourable glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the cooled loaf. Allow to sit for 15 minutes for the glaze to harden then cut into slices.
