Blueberry Oatmeal Bread – Whole grain oatmeal quick bread filled with fresh blueberries. A wholesome breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Today I’m bringing you a big loaf of warm and slightly sweet Blueberry Oatmeal Bread. There’s no better way to kick off the new year than with a tasty loaf of homemade bread, right? After the New Year’s Eve champagne and fancy appetizers, let’s settle in with a cup of tea and a slice of blueberry bread. Sound like a plan?

I always try to bring you heathy-ish recipes at the start of a new year. I know many of us are trying to make better choices after all those holiday indulgences. I am not one that can give up carbs or sugar completely, so when I’m trying to eat better I often find ways to make baked goods and desserts more wholesome.

This Blueberry Oatmeal Bread is filled with whole grains, fresh blueberries, applesauce, and heart-healthy coconut oil. It is lightly sweetened and brushed with honey to create a beautiful and tasty golden top.

I serve this bread for breakfast (toasted with a tiny smear of butter), I pack it in my son’s lunchbox, and I’ve found that it’s perfect for a mid-afternoon snack with a cup of tea of coffee.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup milk, room temperature (I used 1 %)
  • ⅓ cup applesauce
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil, not hot
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons old fashioned oats

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
    In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar, milk, applesauce, oil and eggs. Whisk until completely combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine both flours, 1 cup oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in blueberries.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick instered into the center comes out clean. While the bread is still warm, lightly brush the top of the loaf with honey and sprinkle with 1-2 teaspoons oats.

Notes

Note: If your honey is too thick to brush on top of the loaf, place the honey in the microwave for several seconds to thin it out.

    I love using coconut oil in quick breads because it gives such a nice background flavor. I’ve never brushed honey on bread or muffins but it sounds like a great way to get a bit of sweet flavor without added sugar. What a great bread to start the new year!

    Oh my goodness I am salivating. It’s like a blueberry muffin in bread form! I bet this would be FANTASTIC with some nut butter spread on top.

      I think I might just make this into muffins. It’s just me at home and I could put the excess muffins in the freezer to pull out at anytime. I’m trying this tomorrow.

    Mmm, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet and this bread has my mouth watering!! I think my tea feels lonely now. 😉

    You are so right that everyone has a different idea of what healthy is. I set a goal to make more healthy recipes this year, but it got me thinking about what healthy even means. I’m the same as you — to me it means real, whole foods. Those cookbooks all sound wonderful!

    Hi so what is the Applesauce replacing? Thanks!

      Hi, Hailey. The applesauce isn’t necessarily replacing anything specific. It adds moisture and some natural sweetness to the bread.

    Do you think it would taste okay using all whole wheat flour. One of mu children can only have whole grains if eating them.

      Sure. The bread might be a little mores dense, but if you’re used to having only whole grains you’re probably used to that. Enjoy!

      I have never tried it. It should be ok, the texture might just be slightly different. Enjoy!
