Winter here means not only soup season, but hearty bread season. This Oatmeal Molasses fits that bill perfectly! This lovely molasses bread also has added oats and whole wheat flour, for extra goodness. This bread is delicious eaten out of hand with butter, toasts beautifully and makes great sandwich bread, too!
This two-loaf recipe is also great for doing one weekly bake, keeping one out and freezing the second loaf for later in the week. An extra loaf also makes a great and welcomed gift for family, friend or neighbour :)
Oats – Large-flake, old-fashioned rolled oats are recommended here. In a pinch, you could probably use quick-cooking oats. Instant oats are less idea.
Homemade Whole Wheat Molasses Bread
Molasses – For best results, use “Fancy” molasses, rather than Cooking or Blackstrap molasses, which has a much stronger and harsher flavour. If you only have Cooking molasses on hand, you could try using half molasses/half honey, to temper the molasses a bit.
All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour – This recipe uses a combination of all purpose flour, together with some whole wheat flour. I have only tested this recipe with the specified ratio of all purpose to whole wheat flour, so it is recommended that you keep to these amounts for best results. If you don’t have whole wheat flour on hand, you can replace with more all-purpose flour. You may need to use additional flour over-all with this substitution.
Yeast – you’ll want to use regular Active Dry or Instant Yeast, such as SAF Brand for this bread. Quick or rapid-rise yeast is not recommended, as this is a two-rise recipe.
Guinness Bread With Molasses Recipe
This is a summary of the steps to make this bread. Always refer to the Recipe Card below for complete ingredients and instructions.
Start the dough by soaking the rolled oats. Be sure the mixture is cooled sufficiently before proceeding. If it’s too hot, it could kill the yeast. Add the rest of the dough ingredients, but holding back 1 cup of the all purpose flour.
Add as much of the last cup of all purpose flour as needed, to bring the dough together. Note that this is quite a moist dough. It’s about ready when it wraps the hook and cleans the bowl a bit (but not completely.). Remove to a floured work surface and knead 1 minute, adding a bit more flour if it is sticking to your hands or the counter. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 60-75 minutes.

Divide dough into 2 equal pieces (I like to weigh them, so they are the exact same size). Roll into a rectangle, then roll up jelly-roll style from the short side. Pinch seam together and place into greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled and cresting the pan by about 1 inch in the centre of the pan. Brush top with egg wash and sprinkle with more rolled oats right before baking.
1. Be sure to use Fancy molasses and not Cooking or Blackstrap molasses, which is too strong and harsh in flavour. If you only have Cooking molasses on hand, you can try and use half Cooking molasses and half liquid honey.

Honey Molasses Brown Bread
Hi! I’m Jennifer, a home cook schooled by trial and error and almost 40 years of getting dinner on the table! I love to share my favourite recipes, both old and new, together with lots of tips and tricks to hopefully help make your home cooking enjoyable, stress free, rewarding and of course, delicious!This easy, delicious recipe for sweet molasses bread is just like the soft, tender loaves you get at your favorite steakhouse restaurant!
I should learn by now to never, ever, never-ever tell anyone that it’s been forever since I’ve been sick because the minute those words come out of my mouth, I swear to you, I have instantly the worst cold in a decade.
After seriously not being sick in forever (I can say it out loud now since I’m already miserable), I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. And for some strange reason, my HR department isn’t answering my phone calls about my allotted sick days. Weird.
Sweet Oatmeal Molasses Bread
Today, in the midst of feeling like my pounding head was stuffed inside too-small pantyhose, I remembered that I had a loaf of this sweet molasses bread hidden in the depths of my freezer and the realization
A quick defrost in the microwave, several slices, and a healthy dose of butter later, I decided that sometimes self-medicating with bread is the best way to go (that and going to bed at 8:23 p.m. for several nights in a row).
Most of the remakes were in an attempt to get the perfect variation of ingredients – a slight hint of sweetness with the molasses and honey while keeping the beautiful dark color.
Oatmeal Molasses Bread
I’m not entirely sure why my kids go crazy for this bread but they do. The last two kids to celebrate birthdays have requested this bread as part of their birthday dinner and it’s their favorite thing to see in their lunch box.
If you’ve ever dined out at a popular steakhouse chain (like Outback and others), the sweet molasses bread they serve is always the best part of the meal, in my opinion, and the homemade version is even moredelicious.
I’ve included some helpful tips and information in the notes below the recipe title but rest assured that this dough is a dream to work with. I hope you love it as much as we do. Just don’t forget to slather on that butter. It’s kind of a must.
Our Favorite Molasses Banana Bread
While you contemplate why, how, when and where you’ll make this amazing sweet molasses bread, I’m off to arm wrestle my kindergartenerfor the last piece of our loafandtry to convince him he should try his 6-year oldhand at making sweet molasses bread for his sick, old mother because it’s the right thing to do (actually, now that I’m typing that out loud, I’m not sure the mess would be worth it; maybe we’ll just dig in the freezer and hope for the good luck to find another misplaced loaf).
Oil: I’ve used all sorts of different oil making this bread: olive, avocado, melted coconut. You could also use canola or vegetable oil.
Vital Wheat Gluten: the gluten is optional but I highly recommend it if you want a really soft, light, chewy loaf of bread. Also an alternative is to use bread flour in place of the white flour (and omit the gluten).

Flour: also, if you don’t have wheat flour, you can make this with 100% white flour. I haven’t tried making this with all whole wheat flour – if you experiment, I’d suggest increasing the kneading time by a few minutes to really develop that gluten and get a soft, light loaf.
Oats: the oats in the recipe are more for looks – and they tend to fall off while slicing but I like the look and texture of them so I’ve kept them along for the ride. You could easily omit them if they’re not really your thing.
