Ingredients
Here’s a breakdown of what goes into this simple, wholesome bread and why each ingredient matters.
- 2 cups finely ground oat flour — Forms the structure of the bread, providing a mild, slightly nutty flavor and tender crumb.
- 3 large eggs — Provide structure and help bind the batter together, essentially replacing the role that traditional wheat gluten plays in conventional bread.
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder — Provides the lift needed to give this bread a light texture without the use of yeast.
Instructions
This recipe comes together in just a handful of simple steps. Here’s exactly how to make it.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8½ × 4½-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until smooth and evenly combined.
Add the oat flour and baking powder to the eggs. Stir until everything is thoroughly incorporated and a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Slice the cooled loaf with a serrated knife. Toast the slices for an extra-crispy edge and warm, tender center.
