Oatmeal Only Bread Recipe

Sweetened with maple syrup and loaded with oats, this fresh maple oat bread is baked in a loaf pan, comes together in no time, and is so, so tasty. The oats give the bread a nice chew, and the whole wheat flour lends a heartiness, making it an excellent toasting bread.

, that trips people up the most is the oatmeal-maple loaf. It’s a simple no-knead recipe, just like all of the others in the book, but the process is slightly different, and the written format, as a result, is also different.

In short, in this recipe, the water gets added in two phases: first, the oats, maple syrup, and salt soak in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes; then more water gets added along with the yeast and flour.

Oatmeal Whole Wheat Quick Bread Recipe

Because my publisher only includes water in the ingredient list if it is “boiling” or “lukewarm” or “ice cold”, etc., only the 1 cup of boiling water is listed in the ingredient list. You are instructed to add the remaining water at the end of step 1.

Many people over the years have missed this detail and have made the recipe using only 1 cup of water, and when their oatmeal-maple bread has baked into a doorstop, they’ve emailed me wondering why.

It always makes me sad, because I love this one so much — the oats give the bread such a nice chew, and the whole wheat flour lends a heartiness, making it an excellent toasting bread.

Oatmeal Bread {healthy And Old Fashioned Recipe}

After sharing the recipe for the loaf pan peasant bread over on Cup of Jo, I thought it might be nice to revisit this one and re-write it for a single loaf pan, since most people have one, and include all of the water in the ingredient list to prevent the production of any more oatmeal-maple doorstops.

The original recipe calls for a mix of whole wheat flour and white flour. In this recipe, rather than using commercial whole wheat flour, I’m using stone-milled flour from Cairnspring Mills. I’ve written about the benefit of using stone-milled flour in this post, the most compelling reason being that stone-milling preserves more of the bran and the germ, which is where many of the nutrients, antioxidants, oils, and flavors are stored. Industrial mills remove this germ in order to create a shelf-stable product.

As an experiment, I made one loaf with commercial bread flour exclusively and one loaf with a mix of commercial bread flour and stone-milled flour, and while they both were good, the one made with stone-milled flour was superior in both flavor and texture.

I find locally milled stone-milled flours at a local co-op, Honest Weight Food Co-op, and I also order online from various sources. Here are a few I love:

In a large bowl, combine the oats, salt, maple syrup, and 1 cup boiling water. Let stand for 10 minutes. Then add 3/4 cup cold (or room temperature) water.

Add the flour or flours: I’m using a mix of 1 cup Trailblazer Bread Flour and 2.25 cups King Arthur Flour bread flour.

Oatmeal Nut Bread

Mix until you have a sticky dough ball — you may need to knead with your hands to get the dough to come together into a ball.

Turn the dough over, roll it into a coil or a loaf shape, and place it in a buttered loaf pan coated with oats.

This is a side-by-side comparison of a loaf made with all bread flour (on the right) and one made with a mix of stone-milled flour and bread flour (on the left). It’s a subtle difference but the loaf on the right is slightly loftier.Bread novices, bread experts, and all lovers of carbs, let us unite around Oatmeal Bread!

Ingredient Oat Flax Skillet Bread (v, Gf, Oil Free)| Powerhungry®

With a rich, complex flavor from a touch of molasses, a light chewy crust, and an incredibly tender interior, this hearty oatmeal bread is ideal for toasting, sandwiches, or just sneaking slices of it from the pan.

When baking bread, always warm your water to the temperature specified on the package of your yeast for best results. Water that is too warm will kill the yeast. Conversely, water that is too cold will not properly activate the yeast.

In the (unlikely) event, you don’t finish the loaf within 3 days, you can make some killer breadcrumbs with the leftovers. Simply pulse the remaining bread in a food processor until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and place in a 300 degree F oven for 15 minutes.

Easy Oat Bread Without Yeast

Oatmeal bread doesn’t taste like a bowl of oatmeal, though it does have a cozy, homey flavor. It is hearty and slightly nutty with a hint of rich molasses flavor.

Yes! Oatmeal bread is typically made using either whole rolled oats, oat flour, or a combination of both. This recipe uses rolled oats and bread flour.

Oatmeal bread is not necessarily better than whole wheat bread, nor is it worse. The important thing to focus on is the amount of whole grains you are using (oats are a whole grain), and keeping the added fats and sugars to a minimum. Both are nutrient-dense foods rich in carbohydrates, iron, calcium, and plant-based protein.

Happy Monday friends! How was your weekend? Mine was, um, interesting? Last week I worked non-stop around the clock from 5 am to 8 pm, and I still didn’t stay on top of everything I needed to do. I got almost all of it done but definitely not all.

I always prioritize my Hungry Hobby RD clients and my students, and then just try to get the rest done as best as possible. #letitbeenough

Easy Oat Bread

I had been sleeping 7 hours of sleep a night, but working continuously like that did eventually catch up with me. I basically spent Saturday sleeping, in between a grocery store tour and bowling for a friend’s birthday.

I slept for almost 4 hours! I guess I’m one of those people that need to catch up on sleep when I lose it throughout the week.

I usually do well in situations of temporary overloading, right now it’s simply because I overloaded my plate for the next few weeks to make sure I had a steady income this summer. Since I am an adjunct faculty member, I am not typically given classes in the summer.
