If you are trying to make this fast, try another reviewer suggestion that you dip the graham crackers in milk before layering them. It works great! I served the dessert in about 3 hours after I made it and it turned out nicely. I also used the other reviewer's hot fudge recipe instead of the frosting. A few extra steps, but totally worth it!

This is truly great oatmeal bread! I can't believe more people having reviewed it. I like it because it has more oatmeal per loaf than other recipes (1 1/2 cups per loaf). I also like it because it is sweetened with brown sugar instead of honey, which is cheaper and I always have some on hand. The bread is chewy and a little sweet. I have made it twice by hand. The first time it was a little dense as other reviewers noted. The second time I added a little more water to the water/oats mix (maybe 1/4 cup) and it turned out perfect. Also, I substituted an equal amount of canola oil for the shortening.

This is just like the tomalito at Chevys! I used Green Giant's Gold & White corn (which is sweeter than most other frozen corn). Also, I would strongly recommend following the other reviewers' microwave directions. It's fast and turns out just as well. Also, I cut the margarine in half. Great with chicken enchiladas.
