Ingredients Needed
Instant Oats: The main ingredient for the bread, providing rich dietary fiber and carbohydrates. Oats have a strong wheat-like aroma that forms the base flavor of the bread.
Yogurt: Adds moisture and acidity to the dough.
Eggs: Contribute protein to the bread, improving its structure and texture, and help enhance the golden color after baking.
Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds: These nuts not only add a rich texture to the bread, but they also give a nice crunch when bitten into.
Salt: Used for flavoring. It also strengthens the gluten structure, making the dough more elastic and stretchable.
Yeast: The key ingredient for the bread's fermentation.
Essential Tools
Blender: Used to grind the instant oats into powder.
Oven: Used for baking the bread. The heat circulation in the oven ensures the bread is evenly baked, ensuring good quality.
Bread Pan or Baking Tray
- Bread Pan: If you want the bread to have a specific shape, such as square or round, you’ll need a bread pan. Place the mixed dough into the pan for easier shaping and baking.
- Baking Tray: If you don’t have a bread pan, you can shape the dough by hand and place it directly on a baking tray to ferment and bake.
- Plastic Wrap: Used to cover the dough during fermentation.
Does yeast work with oats?
Yes, yeast can ferment with oatmeal flour.
Although oats contain less gluten, yeast can still ferment the sugars in the oats, producing gas to make the dough rise. However, the effect won’t be as pronounced as with high-gluten flour. The resulting bread may be slightly denser and more crumbly.
Is oatmeal bread healthy?
Yes, oatmeal bread is healthy.
Oats add nutritional value that white bread doesn’t offer. They are rich in dietary fiber, protein, and minerals like iron and magnesium, which help with digestion and lower cholesterol. It’s a healthier option compared to white bread.

How to Store
-Storage: Store the oatmeal bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then place it in the freezer for up to 1 month. To eat, simply thaw it overnight in the fridge.
Other Ideas:
In case you don't finish the bread within 3 days (which is unlikely to happen), you can turn the leftover bread into delicious breadcrumbs. Simply place the leftover bread in a food processor and pulse until it becomes coarse breadcrumbs. Then spread them evenly on a baking tray and bake in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 15 minutes.
Recipe Variations
Grain Substitutions
Substitute some whole wheat flour for oat flour: Replace 60g of oat flour with 60g of whole wheat flour. This retains the health benefits of oats while adding the unique flavor and extra fiber of whole wheat, giving the bread more texture.
Nut Substitutions
Almonds and cashews: Replace sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds with 1 tablespoon of almond slices and 1 tablespoon of crushed cashews. This creates a different texture and flavor, with almonds being crispy and cashews adding a rich taste.
Flaxseeds: Add 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds for a nutty flavor, as well as healthy fats, improving the bread’s nutritional value.
Flavor Innovations
Add dried fruit for sweetness: Add 30g of dried cranberries or raisins. The sugars in the dried fruit caramelize during baking, adding sweetness and a fruity aroma to the bread, making the flavor more complex.
Cinnamon apple flavor: Add 1 diced apple and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. The tartness of the apple and the fragrance of cinnamon will blend together to create a warm, sweet flavor.
Cheese and savory: Add 30g of low-fat shredded cheese. When baked, the cheese melts and gives the bread a rich savory flavor, making the texture more indulgent.
Fermentation Adjustments
Slow fermentation at low temperature: After mixing the dough, place it in the fridge to ferment at 5-8°C (41-46°F) for 8-12 hours. This method produces a richer flavor and a finer texture in the bread.
Second fermentation: After the first fermentation is complete, press out the air from the dough, divide and shape it, then proceed with a second fermentation to help the bread rise more and become softer.
