Have you ever baked bread yourself? Let’s paint a picture: Your kitchen filled with the warm and inviting smell of bread, and as you take your loaf out of the oven you can’t help but admite its perfect shape. Once cooled, the first slice, still slightly warm, is just enough of a warm embrace for the butter to melt oh-so wonderfully. How simple happiness can be! Just as simple as our no-yeast oat bread recipe. With our recipe, you can bring that little moment of happiness right into your home. Because one thing is clear: Homemade always tastes better!

Baking Oat Bread: Our No-Flour No-Yeast Recipe

For our oat bread, you simply make your own flour by grinding rolled oats in a blender or stand mixer. Keep in mind, you also don’t need yeast for the dough. This has several advantages: You don’t have to schedule extra time for the dough to rest and rise, and you don’t have to worry about whether it will rise at all. Ah, how easy it all can be!

In addition to rolled oats, our oat bread also contains lots of nuts, seeds, and grains. That is to say, it is loaded with good fiber. Unlike its name might suggest, fiber is not at all heavy, but on the contrary, it’s really good for your stomach and keeps you full for a long time. Grind the nuts coarsely or finely to give the bread extra bite.

And what goes best with oat bread? A spread of course. Whether sweet like jam or nutella or savory like cream cheese, anything will make a good match for this bread.
