Can I use whole-wheat flour in my recipes without altering the taste?

Pancakes, muffins and quick breads lend themselves better to whole wheat's hearty texture & nutty flavor than cakes, cookies & pastries. For these tender baked goods, try whole-grain pastry flour, which has a mild flavor. Start by swapping out half the all-purpose flour & build from there.
