This bread has been one of my favorite things since I was a child - but I love a really dense, whole-grain bread, and yes, in 20 years of making this, I've never gotten it to rise. My recipe, which I just made, calls for 2/3 the amount of all the ingredients listed here, and molasses instead of honey (honey sounds good, though). It also calls for patting the dough with floured hands on a greased, floured cookie sheet into a 1/2 inch circle, and then pricking it all over with a fork, baking for 10 minutes or more, and serving in wedges. I love it with crazy amounts of good butter, sharp cheddar, and tart apples.

Well, this just didn't work very well for me. I only cooked it for 25 minutes, and it was still burned when I took it out of the over - so make sure you watch it carefully. Also, the bread didn't really rise at all in the oven. Of course, it's a quick bread, so I didn't expect it to rise like a yeast bread, but this didn't rise at all. The no-rise, combined with the fact that it was in such a big pan, cause the loaf to come out quite short (about 1.5 inches). That said, the bread has a nice mellow taste, and good consistency. It's so easy to make that I'd recommend trying it, but use a smaller pan, so the batter fills nearly to the top. And watch it like a hawk while it's cooking

We just tried this bread and my husband said it was "yummy!" I put 3 Tablespoons of honey and I baked it at 350 for 40 min and it came out great!

What a yummy bread! I skipped the step of grinding the oats and left them whole. I baked at 350 for about 30 minutes and the bread did gain some volume. It was perfectly moist - even the picky hubby liked it. I'll definitely try this again with cinnamon and raisins or apple chunks!

This was very easy to make and tasty. I followed the suggestion to bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes and was pleased with the results. I added raisins to it, and next time, I think I'll add a little cinnamon.

I'm baking this recipe right now. I was glad to find it because I was looking for egg-free quick breads that I could feed to our baby. I'm using maple syrup instead of honey (no honey for the baby!) and 2 small ripe bananas instead of the oil (just because the baby likes bananas). I didn't have any whole wheat flour, so I'm using white flour and substituting unprocessed bran for the rolled oats. This is the first time I'm baking with soymilk--one of our dinner guests tonight is lactose intolerant. Hope it'll be a crowd-pleaser!
