Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Loaf pan (9x5 inch)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked porridge oatmeal – cooled to room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats for topping, optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan and set it aside.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, mix the cooled porridge, honey or maple syrup, yogurt, egg, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
Mix the Dough:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Pour into Pan and Top:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle rolled oats over the top if desired for added texture.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
