Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a heartier bread. Quick oats will work, but the texture will be softer.
  • Be sure to measure the oats correctly. Too many oats will make the bread dry and dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread hold its shape.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
