Typically, gluten free bread contains some kind of gum to help the dough together. These gums can be very irritating to the gut, and I personally prefer not to use them. Without the gluten something needs to be added specifically to help with binding. I prefer to use eggs.

Oat flour is my go to gluten free flour for many reasons. I find it is extremely versatile and bakes up much better than most other gluten free flours.

Store bought gluten free flour blends are made to act as closely to regular all purpose flour as possible. This takes blending several different flours, starches, and usually some sort of gum. Personally, there is a lot I don’t love about them and I try to avoid gums. They often contain ingredients that I am not a fan of, they are expensive, and it’s hard to find one that is organic.

Oat flour is easy to make at home in under a minute. I always have oats on hand, so knowing that I can throw them into a high speed blender and have flour almost instantly is a game changer when it comes to gluten free baking.

Because this recipe is gluten free and it uses oat flour only, there aren’t a whole lot of substitutions to be made. For a consistent result, I highly recommend sticking to the original recipe.

If making your own oat flour, measure out 3 cups of gluten free rolled oats and add to a high speed blender. Start by blending on low, and increasing the speed to high. You are looking for a very fine, powdery flour. This should give you 2 3/4 cups of gluten free oat flour.

Simply grind old fashioned gluten free rolled oats in a food processor until they reach a fine consistency. You can, of course, buy certified gluten free oat flour if you don't want to make your own.

And do remember to only use certified gluten free oats if you need to eat gluten free due to the high risk of cross contamination.

Hearty,

Before baking, use a knife or a small, metal offset spatula to slash down the middle of the loaf while it's sitting in the bread pan. This will help ensure an even split as the loaf rises during the bake. It's not essential – your loaf will still split during the rise, it just won't look quite as nice, neat, and even.

The Best Gluten Free Banana Bread With Oat Flour

Although this gluten free bread is fairly forgiving and is not prone to overbaking on the bottom, unlike other quick breads, you still want to avoid having the oven set too high for too long.

The recipe calls for the bread to bake at 375°F for 10 minutes to encourage the loaf to rise fully, much like we do with our gluten free applesauce muffins. Then, for the remaining 45 to 50 minutes, you need to drop the temperature to 350°F to avoid overbaking and excessively drying out your loaf. Remember, it's already pretty tender, so drying it out with overbaking makes it even more fragile and ruins the taste and texture, too.

For the best results with this oat flour bread, use a slightly smaller 8.5 x 4.5-inch cast aluminum bread pan. A standard 9 x 5-inch bread pan works too, but the loaf won't be quite as tall.

Cast iron pans tend to get too hot for long bakes like this one, so you'd end up with burned or overbaked sides and bottom. And I don't recommend a silicone bread pan either, since they don't conduct heat very well, so your baked goods just don't tend to brown in the oven.

For this, as with many other gluten free recipes, I recommend using an all-purpose gluten free flour blend such as Better Batter's classic blend or Cup4Cup's all purpose gluten free flour blend. I used Better Batter, here. But you can also make your own mock Better Batter classic blend easily.

Oat

There are a few other options, too, but I'd avoid anything with a grainy texture or an inconsistent blend. I don't use King Arthur or Bob's Red Mill, for example, but please see our all purpose gluten free flour blend page here on the blog for full and complete information on what blends to use, which ones to avoid.

This delicious bread stores well in in an airtight container on the countertop for a few days. It freezes very well, too.

You can, but I find that the refrigerator tends to dry out baked goods. If you can't leave it on the counter or freeze it, try wrapping each slice tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If it has dried out at all, try sprinkling each slice with a few drops of water, and toasting it before serving.

Yes, this gf bread freezes well. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap then place inside a freezer bag or airtight container before freezing for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight on the kitchen counter before serving or reheating, or defrost once slice at a time (if that's how you froze it) in the toaster oven or microwave for a few moments.

Easy Gluten Free Oat Bread

Gluten free oat bread pairs perfectly with nut butters for an even more filling snack. It works as a sweet treat, too, with spreads like jam or honey butter. It's only lightly sweet, so it makes great toast topped with avocado slices and a sprinkling of salt.

Oats are naturally gluten free but may be contaminated with gluten during processing unless they are labeled gluten free. Be sure to check labels carefully when purchasing oats – look for “certified gluten free” on packaging, and oats that have been grown and manufactured according to the “purity protocol.”

Gluten

While some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity are also sensitive to the protein in oats, for the majority of people, certified gluten free oats are a great addition to gluten free baking and to a gluten free diet in general.
