Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 1 small loaf (serves 2–4)
- 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for sweetness and warmth)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional Mix-Ins : chia seeds, flaxseeds, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease a small loaf pan (about 6x3 inches) or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
- In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined (about 30–60 seconds).
- If adding mix-ins like nuts, seeds, or dried fruit, stir them in gently after blending.
Step 3: Pour into the Pan
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 15–20 minutes , or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Slice
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy warm or toasted with your favorite toppings.
