Oatmeal Bread (Gluten-Free Certified Oats)
Ingredients
- 240g (2 cups) gluten-free oat flour
- 150g (1 1/2 cups) rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
- 15g (1 tbsp) baking powder
- 5g (1 tsp) baking soda
- 5g (1 tsp) salt
- 60g (1/4 cup) honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 240ml (1 cup) unsweetened almond milk or preferred dairy free milk
- 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 5ml (1 tsp) apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Loaf Pan
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your loaf pan with a little oil or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread later.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure these elements are well combined to promote uniformity in baking.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, blend the honey (or maple syrup), eggs, almond milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
Step 4: Merge Dry and Wet Mixtures
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring continually until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, which can result in dense bread. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Step 5: Bake the Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy this wholesome oatmeal bread as a nourishing breakfast or snack.
