INGREDIENT NOTES
Oats – You can use whichever oats you have in your pantry. Just remember, if you are using steel cut oats, as they are more dense they will need to be blended a little bit longer to form a coarse flour.
Milk – I always cook with unsweetened almond milk. It’s a great substitute to regular whole milk, with a neutral taste and a lot less sugar.
Honey – You can easily substitute the honey for maple syrup, rice syrup or agave syrup.
Eggs – If you would like to make this bread Vegan-friendly. Substitue the eggs for a cup of applesauce from two cooking apples or ground flaxseed.
Nuts and Seeds – these are completely optional. I love when bread has nuts mixed throughout as an extra nutty crunch. Try adding a handful of walnuts or pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch.
