Oatmeal Tea Bread

During our Countdown to 2011, I found a great recipe from Jackie for "the best ever muffins".



I decided to give them a try, since I do love oats!


This bread is quite delicious, sweet, but not overly sweet -- pairs nicely with tea!  I bet that's why it's called "tea bread"!


Oatmeal Tea Bread - Adapted from Loving My Domestic Life

1/4 C milk
1 egg
2 T olive oil
1 1/4 C applesauce
1 C oats
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 C brown sugar
1/8 C sugar
1/2 C whole wheat flour
3/4 C all purpose flour

1 T brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 T oats

Begin by mixing the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.


This includes the sugars, baking soda, salt, oats and spices.


Then, stir in the flour.


In a second bowl, combine the olive oil, applesauce, egg and milk. Mix well.


Combine the applesauce mixture together with the flour mixture.


Stir until just moist.


Spread into a lightly greased bread loaf pan.


Combine the 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 T brown sugar and 1 T oats together in a small container and then sprinkle this topping over the bread.


Bake at 350 for 45minutes to an 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the loaf.  Alternatively, you can make muffins -- baking for ~15-18 minutes, or until done.


Cool on a wire cooling wrack.


Then, slice and serve.

  3. I've tried commenting before but somehow I can't.

    I do like your mindset as it reminds me of myself nearly 25 years ago as a new bride. We still strive to cook from scratch even now with three teenagers!

  10. Hi! I am new to your blog and see that you have a couple of gluten free recipes in your index. I know this may be a long shot, but thought I would ask...

    I would LOVE to make this bread, but can't obviously have the wheat flour. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions of a substitute? Thanks so much! Amanda

    I am by no means an expert in GF baking -- but, if you're okay with oats, I'd go ahead and try making it using a GF flour mix, like one of Amy's blends -- http://www.simplysugarandglutenfree.com/my-basic-flour-blend/, in place of the wheat flours.

    Any other GF folks have suggestions?

  15. Oatmeal bread sounds so comforting and filling. I am trying to figure out how I have never tried this before. Thanks for linking up to "Your recipe, My kitchen" on Monday!

  16. I made this last night, it's so good! I more than doubled the cinnamon, and used whole wheat white flour for everything, but other than that stuck to the recipe. It's such a nice idea for breakfast or an afternoon snack (yes, with tea or coffee). Great, unique recipe! (Oh and mine baked in less than 40 minutes.)

    I blogged it too: Adventures In Baking: Oatmeal Tea Bread.
