• 8 **** things i do with this recipe -- ****.
• 9 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.
• 10 *add 1/2 to 3/4 cup post select grains (any of those flavors work great).

• 16 i have been out of some of the dried things above and crumbled up 2 granola bars just to add some "special" - worked great!
• 17 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".
