Steps:
- Add oats and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Heat milk to a simmer and pour on top, stirring to combine. Set aside for about 1.5 hours. Mixture should be at room temperature.
- Add honey, warm water, instant yeast, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine. Add the whole wheat flour and mix on medium-low speed until combined. Add the all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Only add enough flour to make a dough that is soft, and not overly sticky (don't add too much flour!). Knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- First Rise: Transfer dough to a greased bowl and cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide into two equal pieces. Shape into loaves and place in two lightly greased loaf pans. Make egg wash and gently brush some over the top of each loaf. Sprinkle a small handful of dry oats on top.
- Second rise: Cover with a well greased piece of plastic wrap gently laid on top and let rise in a warm place until risen about 1 inch over the loaf pans, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Carefully peel off the plastic wrap.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes. Loaves are done when tapping lightly on the tops produces hollow sound (or when instant read thermometer registers 200° F). Cool for 15 minutes on wire rack, then turn out of pans and cool completely.

Tips:
- Choose ripe grapefruits: Look for grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished rind. The color of the rind can vary from light yellow to deep pink, but it does not necessarily indicate the sweetness or tartness of the fruit.
- Zest the grapefruit before juicing: Zesting the grapefruit before juicing it will help to release the flavorful oils from the rind. These oils will add a bright, citrusy flavor to your bread.
- Use fresh oatmeal: Fresh oatmeal will give your bread a better texture and flavor than instant oatmeal. If you only have instant oatmeal on hand, be sure to cook it according to the package directions before using it in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. If you beat the batter too much, the gluten in the flour will develop too much and make the bread chewy.
- Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit: This temperature is hot enough to cook the bread through without overcooking it. If you bake the bread at a higher temperature, it will be more likely to dry out.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Letting the bread cool completely will help to prevent it from crumbling when you slice it. Once the bread is cool, you can slice it and serve it immediately, or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Oatmeal grapefruit quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The combination of oatmeal, grapefruit, and cinnamon gives the bread a unique flavor and texture that is sure to please everyone. This bread is also a good source of fiber and vitamin C, making it a healthy choice for your family.
