Vermont Maple Honey Oatmeal Bread

     One of my favorite breads to make and one I haven't made in a while. It is from the King Arthur's Baking Companion. I generally follow the recipe except I add probably three times the amount of cinnamon in the recipe - my wife and I love cinnamon - and I also add maple syrup instead of maple flavoring.
     The bread is fairly dense as the two cups of whole wheat flour and the oatmeal make the bread denser. It also makes a fair amount of bread as well. I made one long loaf and 4 shorter loaves for gifts. I prefer to give bread to fellow my grade eight teachers and paraprofessionals that I work with. I figure who needs more cookies or sweets around Christmas time but almost everyone appreciates home made bread. The only problem is one of my teammates has Celiac Disease and gluten literally makes her sick. I would bake her some gluten free peanut butter brownies but there is no way I guarantee that there would not be any flour as both my wife and I like to bake and cook so flour is everywhere. My fellow teacher is very sensitive to cross contamination.
    Anyway, so pictures are below. I didn't do anything different than I usually do. Just had a snow day so I figured I would bake some bread.

 
   One more thing, everybody always loves the bread and appreciates having it.

Peace and Love
