This Honey Oat Bread recipe is a delicious gluten-free option that can also be made dairy-free by substituting the yogurt. It features a moist, slightly sweet texture thanks to honey and oats, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with simple ingredients, it’s easy to prepare and baked to golden perfection.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (approximately 10 slices)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups gluten-free measure-for-measure flour
  • 3/4 teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if your GF flour blend already includes it)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons old fashioned gluten-free rolled oats, separated

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free Greek yogurt for dairy-free option)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon honey, separated
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Line: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Adjust your oven rack to the middle position for even baking.
  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum (if using). Whisk well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients and Oats: In a medium bowl, beat the egg, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and 1/4 cup honey until well blended. Stir in 1 cup of the oats, then add the almond milk and mix until combined.
  4. Combine to Form Dough: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix to avoid tough bread. The batter will be thick and wet, similar to cake batter.
  5. Transfer to Pan and Top with Oats: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of oats evenly over the top for added texture and a lovely finish.
  6. Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the bread on the center rack for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. It is done when the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let Cool Completely Before Brushing with Honey: Remove the bread from the pan and place it on a cooling rack. Allow it to cool fully before brushing the top with the remaining tablespoon of honey to add a glossy, sweet finish. Slice and serve afterwards.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy-free Greek yogurt to make the bread dairy-free.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • Ensure the oats used are gluten-free for a fully gluten-free recipe.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based yogurt and honey substitute.
