We looked for our ideal daily loaf of bread after purchasing our bread maker. We discovered this recipe for oat flour bread after some testing. This flour mixture produced a light, sweet bread that was excellent for toast, soft sandwiches, or just eating directly from the pan.

Followed the recipe exactly and it came out a little more dense than I’d like. It’s also massive so I’d love to know how make a slightly smaller loaf. Overall, I still made a delicious PB&J with this last night and it was delicious.
I actually used oat milk and regular flour and it still turned out wonderful!
I got 59lbs of all-purpose flour from my sister when she moved, then more from Covid-era food pantries. So buying varied types of flour is at the bottom of my priority list. All flour in this recipe was substituted by all-purpose flour. Otherwise, I followed this recipe to the letter. Nobody in my family has been able to accomplish a non-collapsed loaf of bread in about 40 years (when Great Grandma died)… until this gorgeous loaf of ambrosia emerged from my bread maker. The slices are sturdy, yet soft. This is PERFECT for sandwiches!
Not bad.
Tender, light, flavorful
Made the recipe with the ingredients as listed in my machine, set to dough. Shaped and let rise 30 minutes, baked around 45 minutes at 350.
Turned out wonderful!
I was very pleased with this recipe! I followed it and it looks like the picture! Delicious but just a tad salty. Not a problem.
Delicious, moist bread. My husband loved sandwich made with this. I will make again. Used the recipe just as is. I did have to make my own oat flour. Loved this bread.
Good bread! I was looking for a recipe to replace the store bought white bread my husband prefers. This just might be it!! I used the 1 1/2 lb setting, so it’s a little heavy. We did however, eat a third of it as soon as it cooled enough! Thank you for posting Willow Tree
I was disappointed. My bread didn’t rise.
My first experience with my brand new breadmaker, this bread is very delicious maybe not quite salty enough but has a very good flavor. It is a little heavy and dense but still moist and my kids loved it
Very delicious! Used oat bran rather than wheat flour. Very moist and tasty. Thank you!
I made this the other day for the first time and it was excellent. Will make it regularly from now on. I have made many different breads in my bread maker and this was one of the best.
Didn’t have any oat flour so I replaced that with a mix of spelt flour, flax seed flour and quinoa flour
I set machine to whole wheat setting, light crust and 2 lb loaf. I also sub coconut oil instead of vegetable. This bread is a hit every time. Delicious!
It is great. I changed a few things though. I didn’t have oat flour so I just ground up some oats in food processor. And I used all whole wheat flour instead of using bread flour. I also used 1 3/4 tsp yeast, to prevent it from being too dense. I used 6 heaping tablespoons of honey, which probably came out to be closer to 7 tbsp.
Was quite disappointed with the final result. The flavor was overwhelmingly heavy wheat with both a dry and gummy texture. Couldn’t taste the oat or the honey.
Very moist and sweet! I used white whole wheat flour instead of oats and pulled the dough out before the machine baked it. It was very sticky and I put it in a loaf pan and baked it about a half hour at 375.
This makes a very tasty toast for my morning coffee! I wish I had a bread machine, but by hand this was pretty easy. I proofed my yeast with the water and some of the required honey. While I was waiting for that to get bubbly, I mixed all the dry ingredients. I mixed in my Kitchen Aid the yeast mixture, all the wet ingredients, and half of the dry ingredients until they were well mixed. Then I added the rest of the dry ingredients and used the dough beater. I did finish the kneading by hand. I let it rise the first time for about an hour and a half in my oven with only the light on before rolling it into thirds, folding it, putting it into a 9×5 pan for the second rise for another hour or so. I baked it for about 35-40 minutes at 350. It could maybe have used a few minutes longer. My granddaughters liked this bread, too! Thanks, WillowTree!
I made this as is. The oat flour gives it a sweetness. We all loved it. It’s almost gone. 🙂
