I will try this one but reduce the sugar drastically, use whole wheat flour, and substitute buttermilk for the regular milk…Thanks for the inspiration and love the idea of oats in a loaf 😊
This looks great! Can I substitute the milk with Greek yogurt?
Yes, but we suggest diluting it with some water to get a similar consistency.
I have made these twice into muffins instead of loaves but they taste so good! The recipe is fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy you’re enjoying our recipe.
Delicious! I put mine in a Bundt pan and made it with Gf flour!! Also, I added 2 cups of blueberries as well as replaced the oil with 1/2 cup of butter instead!! The butter made it creamier and definitely improved the recipe 🙂
That sounds delicious!!🙂 Thanks Kristina!
Excellent
Thanks Ryan!
Amazing and so easy to make.
So glad you loved it!
Nice texture, and not too sweet, but a little too bland for my taste (not quite savoury enough to be a bread, reminded me more of a fruit scone). So decided to go more in the cake direction and gave it a good dose of very lemony syrup to give it a zing.
Thanks for the recipe – always good to try new ones.
thanks for your feedback Hal!!
I really loved this recipe! It’s not super sweet and seems a lot healthier than the typical sugar glazed type.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
It needed 65 minutes to cook through! It turned out delicious. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Theresa!!
I tried this recipe tonight with few modifications…used Bob’s GF 1-to-1 flour, Trader Joe’s GF rolled oats, oat milk, zest of 1 lemon, and reduced the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup. Baked in 3 individual mini loaf pans for 35 minutes and they turned out great…a little crumbly but delicious. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe! 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
