This honey oatmeal bread is an easy, healthy and delicious loaf of bread that your whole family will love! Perfect for sandwiches, toast, etc.
I have been making this Honey Oatmeal Bread recipe for as long as I can remember. It has the perfect blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour.
The oats increase the fiber content and give it a chewy texture that can’t be beat. Honey gives it a touch of sweetness and the 1 TBS of oil keeps it moist, light and dairy-free!
I don’t remember ever having to eat store-bought bread as a child. Our dad used to make homemade bread all the time (shout out to our dad). The only catch was…he never let us cut into the loaf until it was completely cooled. To me, not being able to eat a warm, steaming slice of that bready goodness I had been smelling all day long was a form of torture. You better believe that the first loaf of bread I made after I got married was cut into and devoured immediately after being removed from the oven.
So many people are hesitant to try yeast breads. I’m here to tell you it’s so easy. And once you give it a whirl you will never be able to buy a loaf at the store again especially with this Honey Oatmeal Bread recipe.
Honey Oatmeal Bread Recipe FAQs
It depends on the kind of grain. Oats are very healthy and are higher than wheat in soluble fiber, which helps with blood sugar and cholesterol.
Most oatmeal bread has a lot of wheat in it. However, you can buy gluten-free oats.
It allows bread to rise because it feeds on sugar which results in it producing carbon dioxide.

Honey Oatmeal Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 TBS canola or coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
Instructions
- Add warm water, honey and yeast to a small bowl. Set it aside for 5-10 minutes until it is proofed (becomes frothy).
- Add all wet ingredients (including yeast mixture) to the bowl of your kitchen aid mixer or to a regular bowl, mix well.
- Add dry ingredients and knead with dough hook (or hands) for 5-10 minutes until dough is elastic and not sticky.
- Oil a bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place, covered with a damp tea towel, until doubled in size.
- Gently press the air out of the dough and transfer it to a greased 8” x 4” bread pan. Optional—press some rolled oats on top of your dough so it looks pretty after baking.
- Cover your bread pan with a damp tea towel and put it in a warm place to rise until doubled (about 1 hour). During this rise, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Once dough has doubled in size, bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until bread is lightly browned and makes a hollow sound when hit with a wooden spoon.
- Remove from pan and set on a wire rack to cool. Cover bread with a towel to seal in moisture and make a soft crust.

Thank you so much Stephanie!! 🙂 <3 Have a great day!!!
oh how delicious!! I’ve been looking for a good homemade bread recipe for sandwiches. Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop!
Thanks Angelina! I made a loaf just so we could have BLTs for dinner! 🙂 Perfect sandwich bread!
This looks delicious! I don’t think we have ever made our own bread but this is definitely making me want to try! Thanks for linking to #YumTum this week and hope to see you back next thursday x
This sounds perfect for breakfast or a really yummy snack!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 I hope you enjoy it if you try it!
I hope I didn’t scar you for life making you and Sandy wait to eat the bread…
Another way to check for doneness is to temp the bread. Bread is typically done when the internal temp is between 190 and 195.
No scars that haven’t been able to be healed by the freedom that comes with adulthood to eat bread whenever I chose (also, to buy Koala Yummies whenever I feel like it). 🙂 That’s a great tip!
Yes, the smell of freshly baked bread is one of the best out there. So jealous that your dad would bake it regularly and can’t wait to try making a loaf of this with my girls!
I was super spoiled with an amazing Dad who fed us exceptionally well! 🙂 There’s nothing like bread fresh out of the oven! Thanks for stopping by!! 🙂
OOH, how did you know that homemade bread is one of my favorite foods? I even have fresh whole wheat flour ground up, and I was wondering what to use it for. This is a blessing!!!
Yay! I agree! Warm, fresh bread is totally my Achilles heel!!! 🙂 I hope you enjoy it!! <3
Nothing beats fresh homemade bread right out of the oven! I just want to slather this with some butter and call it a day 🙂
Totally! 🙂 I love putting peanut butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on a fresh, warm slice of bread! The PB gets all melty and the cinnamon sugar just adds a little pizzaz! 🙂
Fresh baked bread is the best! My mom used to make a cinnamon loaf every Saturday which made me register for a bread maker when I got married. I only used the bread maker our first year of marriage – we’ve been married 4.5 years. I need to whip that bad boy out.
Agreed! We forgot to register for a bread maker…it was our first post-wedding purchase! 🙂 Mine broke a couple years ago and I just never replaced it. There’s something super satisfying about kneading bread by hand! Butttt I do miss the convenience of just tossing ingredients into the pan and coming back two hours later to a beautiful lump of perfectly-risen dough! 😉
