Honey Oat Quick Bread Recipe
Few things on Earth are better than the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven. The incredible smell wafting from the oven is enough to make one weak in the knees. Since there is no yeast involved or bread machine necessary, this super easy bread can be on your table in no time at all.
Packed with hearty oats and sweet honey, this bread is great for anything from toast to sandwiches! It tastes so great you won’t even know it is healthy for you! 😀
Can Honey Oat Bread be Made Vegan?
Yes, you can make this honey oat bread vegan! It’s really simple, and you just need to make a few adjustments to have a delightful vegan bread recipe. First, you will need to replace the yogurt with a vegan option. Some ideas are coconut milk yogurt, oat milk yogurt, or flax milk yogurt.
Next, you will need to replace the egg with an egg substitute. Silken tofu, mashed banana, and flaxseed are all great options. Another thing you will need to swap out is the milk. You can use any vegan milk replacement like almond or coconut milk.
Lastly, you will need to use something instead of honey—a vegan alternative like maple syrup, coconut nectar, or agave nectar.
How Long is Homemade Bread Good?
Homemade bread should always be cooled all the way before stored. Then keep it in an airtight container. A bag or plastic container will work as long as it’s airtight. This honey oat quick bread will last around 3-5 days if kept airtight. In some cases, it may even last up to a week.
It’s essential to keep bread away from anything that is hot. If you have hot appliances like a toaster, dishwasher, or even your stove near the bread, it will dry it out. That would make it go bad much quicker than keeping the bread in a cooler place. Never put the bread in the sunlight, either.
Does This Oat Bread Have to Rise Before Baking?
No, there is no rising needed at all with this oat bread. How amazing is that? That is why I love making quick breads because that is a huge step you can skip and save yourself lots of time and energy.
When making this bread recipe, you can quickly and easily combine the ingredients and add them to the pan then bake. It’s genuinely that simple!

How to Make Honey Oat Quick Bread
If you are anything like me, after you start making bread at home, it becomes an addiction. There is nothing better than homemade bread, and because it’s so easy, it becomes second nature. I have a feeling once you try it, you are going to be satisfied and kiss store-bought bread goodbye.
First Step: Turn your oven on to 375 degrees F. Then coat a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan using cooking spray. Add in one tablespoon of oats into the bottom of the baking pan. Then tip it back and forth, so the bottom and sides are coated with the oats. Set aside for later.
Second Step: Place the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Combine with a whisk and set aside.
Third Step: Beat together the one cup of oats, yogurt, egg, honey, and oil in a medium bowl using a fork. Pour in the milk. Then stir in the yogurt mixture into the bowl with the flour. Mix until everything is incorporated, but make sure not to overmix. Pour the batter into a baking pan and spread evenly. Add one tablespoon of oats on top.
Fourth Step: Bake the quick bread for 40-50 minutes or until it’s brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean after being stuck in the center. Let the bread sit on a wire rack for 15 minutes to cool. Then take a butter knife and run around the edges to loosen it. Turn the bread onto the wire rack and let it continue cooling for 45 more minutes.
