• **** Things I do with this recipe -- ****.
• These do not really create a problem to where more moisture is required, it just makes the loaf a little more solid. If you feel mix is too dry I suggest 1/2 cup applesauce.
• *Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup Post Select Grains (any of those flavors work GREAT).
• *Add 1/2 cup flax seed.
• *Add 1/2 cup cooked barley or rolled (uncooked)(if you can find it).
• *Add 1/2 cup dried cranberries.
• *Add 1/2 cup trail mix - your choice.
• *Add 1/2 cup any FRESH fruit, diced to small bite size --
• I have been out of some of the dried things above and crumbled up 2 granola bars just to add some "special" - worked Great!
• I personally make these in small mini-loaves, wrap in clear wrap when completely cooled. They make a really nice present for showing you think of someone. The UPS man, mailman, etc. Just a nice way to say "Thanks for taking care of me".
