I love homemade honey oat bread, have you ever tried it? You will die. Simply die. And then go right to bread heaven.
Recently Karrie did a post on her Happy Homesteading series on how to make her own Homemade Whole Wheat bread. It gave me happy thoughts of times when friends have brought me a warm loaf of fresh baked bread. I love homemade bread! It doesn’t last long in my house. When my kids ask for more, I tell them, “No, you already had a slice!” Then I eat it all before they get the chance {insert evil laugh}. Â Anyways… no one’s going to want to bring me bread anymore (ahem). Homemade bread is a great thoughtful gift to give to really anyone, for any occasion. Everyone loves it, and believe me, they will think you are super cool for making it. So I wanted to share one of my personal favorite bread recipes with you all and show you how I gifted it.
Honey Oat Bread recipe
Using just a few simple ingredients you can make this delicious Homemade Honey Oat Bread recipe.  I originally found this recipe at Bakindom and fell in love.  The coolest part of making Honey Oat Bread is when you drizzle warm honey over the risen dough before it bakes….
Then, sprinkle old fashioned Oats all over the honey. In’t dat perty?
Hot and fresh out of the oven!
This bread doesn’t need anything fancy, it speaks for itself. So I just took some twine and created a super simple tag. Perfecto! Ready to make someone happy!

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for this amazingly easy and simple recipe that tastes great! I grew up in a bakery but never learned to make bread, ha! I nailed it at the first try and made me proud( I tried other recipes with deception outcomes) So yeah! 5 Stars. I started adding some seeds and grains because I love to have a bit of crunch in the loaf beside the crust. I just had one question, Could this be turned into whole wheat? If so How? Much appreciated!
I haven’t tried it as a whole wheat version… so I’m not sure! Anyone else out there try using whole wheat? And did it work?
Yes. I have been using white whole wheat flour for months, and it turns out great! During this pandemic I can’t find white whole wheat flour anywhere, and I’m lucky if I find flour all. I just made a loaf with 1/2 white flour, 1/2 whole wheat flour. It turned out very nice.
Is it really 411 calories per slice.? Is this the calories for the whole loaf?
Thanks
Nope! It was set to 6 servings so I switched it to 12 servings (which would be about the amount of slices I think you can get off this loaf) and it’s 211 per slice. 🙂
Hi. Is this using plain or self raising flour please?
Hey..the recipe looks great. I have a doubt. Did you put whole oats or powdered it?
Hi, thanks for the recipe. Can I skip the first rise and leave to rise in fridge over night instead? How long would it need to be left in morning before punching down and shaping in loaf pan? This would make things easier and mean fresh bread early in morning because I have young children.
