Oat flour bread ingredients on a table

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Generously grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan and set aside.
If using whole oats, blend 2 ½ cups of rolled oats in a food processor or blender until finely ground to make oat flour.
In the blender, add oat flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, yogurt, milk, eggs, oil, and honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Add 1 cup of rolled oats to the mixture. Pulse 2–3 times—do not overblend.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. For a rustic finish, sprinkle more oats on top.
Bake for 50–55 minutes. Tent with foil halfway through and rotate the pan. The bread is done when it reaches 200ºF internally or a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove it and let it cool fully on a wire rack before slicing. For best results, wait at least 30 minutes to slice.

Notes

Psyllium Husk Powder: Helps bind the bread for a sturdier slice. While optional, it improves texture, especially for sandwiches.
Dairy-Free Version: Substitute ¾ cup applesauce for yogurt and use non-dairy milk. Expect a slightly looser crumb; extend baking time slightly if needed.
No Blender? Use store-bought oat flour and mix dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls before combining. Fold in oats and proceed as directed.
Storage: Cool completely before slicing. Store airtight at room temp up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oat Flour Bread

Is oat flour good for baking bread?

Yes! Oat flour is naturally gluten-free and creates moist, hearty loaves. It works best in quick breads or when combined with binding agents like eggs or psyllium husk.

Can I replace bread flour with oat flour?

You can substitute oat flour in many recipes, but it doesn’t behave the same as bread flour. It’s ideal for quick breads like this one, but not suited for recipes requiring gluten development.

Does oat flour rise with yeast?

Oat flour lacks gluten, so it doesn’t rise as well with yeast. For yeast-based oat flour bread recipes, it’s best to combine oat flour with another flour or use binding agents.

What are the benefits of oat flour bread?

This type of bread is high in fiber, easy to digest, and typically contains fewer calories than many wheat-based alternatives. It’s a smart choice for those seeking a more nutritious and heart-healthy option in their baking routine.
