Flourless oatmeal bread is hearty, wholesome, and surprisingly easy—no wheat flour needed, just oats blended into a batter. It’s great if you want something simple, filling, and slightly nutty in flavor.
🍞 Flourless Oatmeal Bread (Baked)
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for slight sweetness)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Blend the oats
Add oats to a blender and blend into a fine flour-like texture.
2. Make the batter
Add milk, eggs, oil, and honey. Blend again until smooth.
3. Add dry ingredients
Add baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse briefly to combine.
4. Rest the batter (important)
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes so the oats absorb liquid and thicken.
5. Bake
Pour into a greased or lined loaf pan.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool
Let it cool completely before slicing—it firms up as it cools.
🍽️ Texture & Taste
- Soft and slightly dense (like a quick bread)
- Mild, nutty flavor from oats
- Not as airy as regular wheat bread
🔥 Tips
- Use rolled oats, not steel-cut (they won’t blend well)
- For better rise, don’t skip the baking powder + baking soda combo
- Add seeds (chia, flax, sunflower) for extra nutrition
🌿 Variations
- Savory: Add herbs, cheese, or garlic
- Sweet: Add cinnamon, raisins, or mashed banana
- Vegan: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flax + 2.5 tbsp water per egg)
If you want, I can help you tweak this into a high-protein version or make it more like sandwich bread (less crumbly, better structure).
