What to use instead of breadcrumbs

If a recipe calls for breadcrumbs and you don't have any, you can use any of these alternatives, from the closest to the least similar:

• Rolled oats

  Equivalent with adjustment

  Grind them; they coat and bind just as well, but are less crispy.

• Bread

  Equivalent with adjustment

  Toast it or let it dry out, then grate it first.
