Whole Wheat Oatmeal Honey Bread

When I was still living in New York in 2018, my friend Marina from photography class told me about Cup4Cup, a brand of gluten-free flour that you can use to substitute normal wheat flour literally cup for cup.

Her son is celiac, just like Juan, so when she swore by this brand of flour, and told me I could use it with literally any normal recipe, I was curious, so I bought a bag of the Cup4Cupmultipurpose gluten-free flour to try out, and the first recipe I made with it was this gluten-free oat bread (which I’ve barely adapted from Celebrating Sweets) .

Preheat oven to 375 deg. Fahrenheit and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper. Adjust oven rack to the middle position.

In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl, and whisk well until combined.

In a medium bowl, beat the egg, yogurt, melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 cup oats together until well blended. Now stir in the milk and mix until combined.

You will get a thick oat bread dough that looks more like cake batter – see the photo below (do not over-mix as bread may become too tough).

Honey Oat Bread Recipe (gf & Df)

Pour the batter-like dough into the prepared loaf pan, and sprinkle the top of the loaf with the remaining 2 tablespoons of quick oats.

Bake in the center rack of the oven until bread is deeply golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (approximately 30 to 45 minutes).

Remove the gluten-free oat bread from the pan and place loaf on a cooling rack to cool completely at room temperature before brushing with the remaining honey, then slicing and serving.

To store, wrap cooled honey oat quick bread in plastic wrap or an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Easy

Yes you can! To freeze , wrap the cooled gluten-free oatmeal bread in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Let frozen loaf thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing.

Oats are naturally gluten-free, however, they are often processed in the same facilities that process wheat or other grains that contain gluten. If you are Celiac or have gluten intolerances or allergies, make sure you use gluten-free rolled oats in this recipe. Do note that some Celiacs may experience similar reactions to oats as they do with gluten, so this would depend on your personal experience.

Gluten-Free Multipurpose Flour:I use and recommend Cup4Cup Gluten-Free 1:1 multipurpose flour in this recipe (but it does contain milk, so for a dairy-free option, make sure to use a dairy-free gluten-free all-purpose flour). Feel free to use other gluten-free flour blends that are made with light flours/starches (such as rice flour, corn starch, potato starch or tapioca starch) to ensure a lighter and fluffier texture. I do NOT recommend using blends that include heavier flours (such as garbanzo bean flour) as this will result in a denser bread.

Quick Honey Oat Bread (no Yeast)

Xanthan Gum: Xanthan gum is the substitute for gluten in gluten-free flours, and helps the ingredients to bind better together. If your gluten-free flour blend does not already include it, make sure to add it in.

Baking Powder: Since this is a yeast-free bread, and baking powder is the only leavening agent to help the batter rise, it’s pertinent to add it in. If you have Celiac disease or are gluten-intolerant, make sure you use certified gluten-free baking powder.

-

Yogurt: I used Greek yogurt in this recipe, but you can also make this honey oat bread dairy-free by using coconut yogurt (or other non-dairy yogurt) instead of Greek yogurt.

Yeast Free Bread

Egg: The egg acts as a binder for the ingredients and gives the batter lift. However, if you are allergic to eggs or simply want to keep this recipe egg-free, you can use an egg-replacer or aquafaba instead.

Coconut Oil: I prefer using refined coconut oil for my baking because it has a neutral taste (as opposed to extra virgin coconut oil which as a more pronounced flavor and smell). Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use melted butter instead.

Honey: I used honey as a natural sweetener for the bread, but you can also use agave nectar or maple syrup if you prefer.

Ingredient Healthy Oat Bread (no Yeast, Flour, Sugar, Oil, Or Eggs)

Rolled Oats: If you are allergic to gluten, make sure you buy gluten-free rolled oats (sometimes oats are processed in the same facilities as wheat and there may be cross-contamination).

Almond Milk: I used my 5-minute homemade almond milk here, but you can also use other non-dairy milk such as cashew milk, rice milk or soy milk. Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use normal cow’s milk if you prefer.

Freezing: To freeze, wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Let frozen loaf thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing.

Yes, you can make this honey oat bread vegan! It’s really simple, and you just need to make a few adjustments to have a delightful vegan bread recipe. First, you will need to replace the yogurt with a vegan option. Some ideas are coconut milk yogurt, oat milk yogurt, or flax milk yogurt.

Next, you will need to replace the egg with an egg substitute. Silken tofu, mashed banana, and flaxseed are all great options. Another thing you will need to swap out is the milk. You can use any vegan milk replacement like almond or coconut milk.
