For a richer flavor, try using dark molasses. If you don't have a bread machine, you can knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer until it is smooth and elastic. Increase the rising time slightly. For a sweeter bread, add an additional 1/4 cup of sugar to the oat mixture. To make this recipe vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative.
