I modified the recipe: I used 2 bananas 2/3 C veg oil 1 Cup of milk 3 eggs I also used dried cranberries It turned out moist unlike the previous reviews the only other thing to sweeten up I would increase the honey or add 1/4 c of sugar and go to a tsp of cinnamon. I like it the way I prepared. But for those who like a sweeter bread you will need to increase the amount of honey or sugar.

I used only 1c of cranberries and sliced them prior to adding into the dough. I also used almond milk. The bread is too dry. But I like the flavor.

After reading the reviews about this bread being too dry, I decided to add one small mashed banana. I scaled the recipe to one loaf. It still came out dry, too dense and it is not sweet enough.

Great recipe for a healthy bread. What I did was double it, sub 3 cups wholewheat flour and 2 cups reg white for the 5C flour, cut the honey to 1 1/4, added 5T of ground flax and put it into 2 loaf pans and 1 med (normal sized) cupcake tin for muffins. I cooked the muffins for 30 min and the bread for 45. Both came out lovely, but muffins were a bit dry and needed butter. Overall, the bread was better and more moist. I will make both again.

I made this into muffins. Due to the other reviews remarking on dryness, I added about 3/4 cup of sour cream & they were fine.

My husband eats this for breakfast and snacks. I have added 1/4 cup flaxseed for more fiber and omega 3 and substituted the vegatable oil with no sugar added applesauce. I also used dried cranberries after I boiled the moisture back into them. All of my neighbors love it!!!!!

HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE!! I failed to read others comments and as I was preparing, I did notice how dry the dough was. However, I took a risk and tried not to add more oil. Knowing that the dough felt dry, I took it out of the oven WAY early then its suggested 40-45 minutes. Yes, it is dry but quite tasty. The cranberries was not that tart as some as suggested as I tend to love cranberry drinks or the tartest apple out there. My suggestion is you can doctor this up to make it "yummy" or you can doctor it up a little more to make it HEALTHY. Sometimes I enjoy eating the most unhealthy stuff but I also enjoy eating things that taste guiltfree as well. Try: Egg beaters instead of egg Soymilk instead of milk Wheat flour instead of white It ALREADY uses honey and NO sugar! I use local honey in my tea already so using this in my foods was a bonus!). I also love recipes that uses oats! Great recipe, will try again. As the author's note suggested, it is a "hearty" recipe.

My family enjoyed this recipe. I put the cranberries in the chopper, so they would not be so tart. Also, I increased my oil and sugar, as recommended by others. I will be using this again. Loved the oatmeal in it.

I added one container of flavored yogurt and chopped the cranberries, as the first time I made the recipe, it was dry and the cranberries were too tart. Once I added the yogurt and the chopped fresh cranberries, I made them into muffins, and the muffins were terrific. They are even better the next day.
