This gluten free oat bread is so hearty and flavorful! It’s simple to make this dairy free bread using traditional oats, and the whole loaf costs less than $3 to make.

Gluten free bread can get expensive. The store-bought versions tend to be small and pricey, and even the homemade versions often require several different types of specialty flour.

This gluten free oat bread is another story. It costs just $2.73 to make, and it tastes delicious. The only flour you’ll need to make this bread is ground oats. My family prefers the taste and texture of this bread over the other gluten free loaves we’ve tried.

This oat bread can be used to make a sandwich or a piece of toast slathered with jam. I like to eat it on its own as a snack bread. It’s not overly sweet like a typical loaf of dessert bread or muffins, but it’s sweet enough to feel like a snack.

Gluten Free Oat Bread Tips

I make my own oat flour by blending traditional rolled oats in a high powered blender for about 30 seconds. After grinding the oats into a flour, you can add the other dry ingredients and mix them together right in the blender.

For a shortcut, you can use packaged oat flour instead. Substitute 4 cups of the oat flour for the rolled oats in this recipe.

This bread is a bit delicate, so make sure to let it cool before slicing. If you’d prefer a more typical sandwich-type gluten free bread, substitute 2 cups of your favorite gluten free flour blend for 2 cups of the oat flour. If you make this substitution, you can omit the xanthan gum from the recipe.

Try my millet bread for another yummy gluten free loaf. And for a delicious dessert bread, make my oat flour banana bread.

Ingredients

• 4 cups rolled oats (14 oz)
• 2 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a standard 8½ by 4½ inch loaf pan.
• Place the oats in a high powered blender and process on high for 20 to 30 seconds, until you have a fine flour. Add the xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the blender. Process briefly to mix.
• In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, maple syrup, milk, and applesauce. Add the dry ingredients, and stir to combine evenly.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The top should be nicely browned, and the internal temperature of the bread should reach 190 degrees.
• Place the loaf on a wire rack. Leave it in the pan for a few minutes, then remove the loaf from the pan to cool completely before slicing.
• This bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for later.

Notes

If you’d prefer a more typical sandwich-type gluten free bread, substitute 2 cups of your favorite gluten free flour blend for 2 cups of the oat flour. If you make this substitution, you can omit the xanthan gum from the recipe.
