What do I think about this recipe?

It is an easy recipe to make and perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bread is very moist. So you can have it with or without butter or spread. The combination of the tree grains makes an interesting brown color. The darker the syrup, the darker the bread. It smells wonderful. Depending on the type of syrup that you use you will get a different flavor. Using the maple syrup, you can serve this bread for any types of meal. However, I would recommend to have the bread made with molasses for breakfast for its strong sweet flavor. I have not tried the recipe with the barley malt.
