Flourless Oatmeal Bread – Tips & Tricks (Q&A)
❓ Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
✔️ Yes! Quick oats work fine, but rolled oats give the bread a heartier texture. Avoid steel-cut oats as they won’t blend properly.
❓ How can I make the bread sweeter?
✔️ Add 2–3 tablespoons of coconut sugar, brown sugar, or extra honey/maple syrup. You can also mix in raisins, chopped dates, or chocolate chips.
❓ Can I make this bread dairy-free?
✔️ Yes! Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt or unsweetened applesauce for a dairy-free version.
❓ Why is my bread dense?
✔️ Make sure not to overmix the batter. Also, check if your baking soda and baking powder are fresh, as old leavening agents won’t help the bread rise.
❓ How do I store this bread?
✔️ Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months.
❓ Can I add nuts or seeds?
✔️ Absolutely! Chopped walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds add great texture and nutrition.
❓ How do I serve this bread?
✔️ Enjoy it plain, toasted with butter, topped with nut butter, or drizzled with honey. It’s also great with fresh fruit or yogurt on the side!
