Great tip, Marie – that works like a charm if you don’t have buttermilk on hand! Lemon juice works, too, if anyone reading this doesn’t happen to have white vinegar in the pantry. Add 1 tablespoon to 1 cup of milk. Also, I typically do this with nonfat milk to save calories and slash the fat. Of course, whole milk is extra creamy, but you can use this handy trick with any fat percentage. Glad you mentioned this little trick, Marie – it’s a brilliant workaround! 🙂 ~Shelley

We don’t use butter milk in our house but I learned a long time ago that you can use whole milk and add a tablespoon or so of white vinegar to sour the milk for the recipe. Don’t forget to let the milk set with the grape nuts before mixing the rest of the ingredients.

Hi there, Mary! It’s actually CARBOHYDRATES: 38g and FIBER: 4g. But wow – 38 grams of fiber would be fantastic, though, wouldn’t it lol?!? Hope you love this homemade bread as much as my family does! ~Shelley

Nutrition info says 38 grams of fiber? Correct?

Oh, Laurie – I just love the idea of adding Craisins – that sounds delicious with those little pops of sweet-tart fruit against the backdrop of nutty-flavored bread. Yum! I’m excited to try it – thanks so much for the suggestion! ~Shelley

Hi, Sue! Thank you SO much for taking a moment to let us know how much you and your family are enjoying this bread recipe! I’m so ecstatic to hear that our beloved, heirloom family recipe brings other people happiness, too! I just baked a double batch a couple of days ago, too! 😀 And I agree – it’s so dense and satisfying (especially with a bit of cream cheese or peanut butter), that you feel nourished and powered on with just one slice. And definitely – toasting it is our favorite way to eat it, too. Somehow it’s just more scrumptious warm! Mmmmmmmm … I might have to wander off to the kitchen now and find a little slice …… 😉 ~Shelley

“Grape-Nuts Bread” has become a family favorite! My teen daughter baked up our second loaf yesterday because she and her older sister couldn’t stop thinking about it…We love toasting it and spreading on jelly or whipped cream cheese. Today, I slathered a toasted slice with peanut butter — YUM. It’s a dense bread, so one slice satisfies.

I’m so thrilled to hear it, Elise! And I DEFINITELY understand what you mean about being skeptical! As I said in the post, we really didn’t have much hope for such an oddball recipe – how could it turn out to be delicious? And seriously … Grape-Nuts and buttermilk??? I’d never seen a recipe like this before! But I 100% agree with you – it’s wonderful! And even MORE wonderful because it’s unexpected, right?!? 😉 Thank you so much for taking a moment to let me know how much you enjoyed it – I truly appreciate it! Have a fantastic week! 😀 ~Shelley
