Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for the recipe. I had lots of left over oats and did not know what to do with them. I tried this recipe using milk powder diluted with water instead of milk and baking soda instead of baking powder. If you use baking soda, then just use half the quantity of baking powder. Also, I added maple and brown sugar quaker oats instead of chocholate chips. I got all the pieces of bread intact and the bread did not crumble even when I served direct hot from the oven. I think this happened because I used a lot of zero calorie butter spray for coating the pan and in the final step, melted the butter and dipped the squares of bread in the liquid butter. Also, since I was trying for the 1st time, I used only half the quantity for everything. This is the 1st time I baked something and it turned out excellent. I can assure you that any milk substitutes or butter substitutes will work fine since I used them and the bread turned out just the way as shown in the picture.

Isha, thank you for trying the recipe and the detailed feedback. Substituting oatmeal for chocolate chips is a good and healthy idea.

Could you use a non-dairy shortening or margarine instead of the butter and soymilk instead of milk? My kids are also allergic to dairy.

Hi Kim, I have baked using Earth Balance Vegan Butter in some recipes, which call for butter and the baked goods turn out good. So I’m sure that you could use non-dairy shortening and soymilk as well. Check here for other vegan baking recipes from my blog:

I was looking for something to bake, which did not take eggs (since we were out), and ran across this recipe and it was wonderful. I did substitute the milk with 1/3 c. sour cream and 1/3 c. soy milk. My son loved them. Thanks!

You’re welcome Susan. I’m so glad that your son liked it.
