I loved this recipe, but I altered it. I used 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 1 cup white flour. I used orange juice instead of grapefruit juice, so it wasn't tart or bitter. It was slightly sweet. Instead of nuts I used raisins. They added sweetness to the bread that made it more palatable to me. It still wasn't overly sweet. It was a little crumbly and heavy and the dough didn't pour, so much as was plopped into the pan. It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I added more honey like the other reviews said, but nothing could save this bread. It's just not meant to be.

Okay being the health nut that I am! I changed the recipe to Whole wheat flour and added FLax seed Meal. I did not use nuts or honey but did use Applesauce. I also used cranberry raisins. I thought it was fantastic but a little dry. I think leaving the honey out might have hurt the moisture issue. I guess the way I made it was a 4.5, but the recipe itself is a 5! Enjoy!

I don't think I'd ever eaten, let alone baked, an oatmeal bread, so this was a pretty new experience for me. I made the recipe exactly as written, and it came out pretty well. The bread is fairly dense, but still somewhat moist. It lasted me a whole week as a breakfast-time bread. I'm not a big fan of walnuts, or nuts in breads either, but with the way they baked into this bread, I could say that the walnuts were not bad. The honey flavor was somewhat prominent, and the grapefuit was pretty minimal, to my taste, although the grapefruit did leave an aftertaste as it usually does. It's probably fairly good as these breads go, I guess. It's just not particularly to my tastes. I'll give it a 3-star rating based on how I personally liked it, but I'm guessing a 4-star rating is probably better for the recipe in general.

I too was given some grapefruit that I need to use up. Will make again if blessed with more grapefruit someday. I'm giving this recipe a 5, although mine was actually a 4.5 in my husband's opinion. I altered the recipe after reading everyones reviews and falling short on some oats. I used 4 packets of instant oatmeal (3 w/ apples, 1 w/ cinnamon) and substituted bulgar wheat=1/2cup (hot water saturated, like tabouli). Because I like things sweet, tasted the batter before egg was added, in addition to the honey, I also added Sugar in the Raw to the recipe aproximately 1/4 cup, added a bit more juice to make the batter more liquidy as my batter was stiff (Probably due to my added bulgar wheat) so added maybe 1/4 cup more. I also sprinkled the top with almonds and Sugar in the Raw. My bread is very filling and wonderfully textured, and I love the crunch on top with the sugar and almonds. Yum.

I thought this was awful. I re-read the recipe to make sure I followed it correctly and I did. It came out heavy without much flavor. Threw out the whole thing.

I was given a ton of grapefruit and had no idea what to do with it. I do not really like it plain. I juiced them for this recipe (which I doubled) and it came out wonderfully. I was short on honey and flour, so I supped a little maple syrup and wheatgerm/cake flour, respectively. The bread is not overly sweet but flavorful with just a hint of fruit underneath. The walnuts add nice crunch. I refrigerated the batter overnight, and the next morning it was pretty thick. I was worried that would affect the bread but it didn't seem to. The next time I make this I might add more cinnamon. It is excellent served with cream cheese, ricotta and jam.

It's pretty dense and needs more honey. Everyone likes it, I just would like it to be more moist. Will try it again.

Yummy. I used soy flour and real butter and freshly squeezed grapefruit. When I tasted the batter I worried that it was a little too tart so I also added about a quarter cup of turbinado (raw, unprocessed sugar). I will make this again.

Very good. I didn't have any honey, so used molasses instead. Perhaps not as sweet tasting as honey, but really good.

Healthy, filling yet light bread- excellent for a nutritious breakfast on the run. I used the ruby red grapefruit juice for a sweeter flavor. Thanks for the creative spin to common ingredients!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I substituted the all purpose flour for wheat flour, and it did not seem to negatively affect the bread. It was especially good with some whipped honey butter on top. Very good, very easy.
