Quick breads can be sweet or even savory but they originated as a way to use whole grains in a way that filled you up but didn't take a great deal of time to make. This recipe requires using Oat Flour, specifically flour made from oats. I use Old Fashioned rolled oats because they're easy to find and flour up quickly. You don't need to use a mill like you would with the steel cut or whole oats. Just pop them in your blender (I have a Vitamix- the best for this) and whiz away! In no time you have soft oat flour.
- 2 3/4 cups oat flour
- 1 cup warm milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup flax (unmilled)
- 3/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Whisk together the honey, eggs, milk and salt
- Add the baking soda and baking powder to the flour and mix
- Add the wet to the dry and stir in the ground flax
- Let the mixture stand for five minutes
- Line a bread pan with parchment paper (you will want to use a Glass or Corning baking pan).
- Cook for 40-45 minutes and then cool overnight before removing.
