Oatmeal, Fruit and Nut Bread image

This is a tasty bread with very little fat-virtually none if you use the nonfat buttermilk and leave out the nuts. I've only made it with raisins, but I'll bet it would be really good with the dried cranberries also.

Time 50m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 1/4 cups fat-free buttermilk (or you can use 1% milk soured with 1 tsp. vinegar per cup of milk. I wouldn't recommend nonfat milk,)
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (I prefer dark brown)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup raisins or 1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped nuts (can use more raisins instead) (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine oats and buttermilk; mix well and set aside for a few minutes.
  • Combine dry ingredients, except for the sugar, and mix well.
  • Add brown sugar to oat mixture and mix well, pressing out any lumps.
  • Add buttermilk mixture and vanilla to dry ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Stir in fruit and nuts (if using).
  • Put batter into 2 1-lb loaf pans that have been sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes.
  • Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove from pans to cool on wire rack.

I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal, but I really enjoyed this bread. The oats were cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced. I'll definitely be making this again!

This bread was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more liquid or used a different type of flour. However, the flavor was good and it was easy to make.

I've been making this bread for years and it's always a favorite. It's a great way to use up leftover oats and fruit. I like to add a little bit of honey to the batter for extra sweetness.

This bread was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected and the texture was a bit too dense for my taste. I probably won't make it again.

This bread was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the flavors were muted. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
