TIPS & TRICKS

The oatmeal creates a very similar texture like any nut do to the bread, not crunchy, but some texture.  If you don’t like that “nutty” texture, skip the oatmeal and replace it with a cup of all-purpose flour.

I highly recommend you to sprinkle a few pieces of oatmeal on top of the batter before putting it into the oven. 

This is my experience talk.  The first time when I served this bread, the oatmeal mixed into the batter did not completely pick up the chocolate color. 

As a result, the bread showed with a few white dots here and there when it was sliced.  Guests was worried that the bread was no good.  I had a lot of explanation to do for them to understand that those dots were actually oatmeal. 

Therefore, a few pieces of oatmeal on top not only takes care of the garnish part, but also saves you from a lot of concern throwing at you.

The bread is very moist. Do feel free to serve with or without any butter, peanut butter or other nut spread.
