Honey Oat Quick Bread – A yeast free bread made with oats and wheat flour, sweetened with honey, and baked until golden brown. This easy no-yeast, no-knead recipe is ready in an hour!
Oh, carbs!!!! I just adore them. Oatmeal Blueberry Bread, Banana Nut Bread, Pumpkin Bread…I love ’em all!
A piece of good quality, really fresh bread is in my top 5 favorite foods of all time. Toasted slightly, smeared with butter, and sprinkled with sea salt. Now we’re talking. Sometimes the simplest things are the best.
No Yeast Bread
I rarely make bread at home. I lack the patience necessary to work with yeast. But, when I recently saw a recipe for a Honey Oat Yeast Free Bread I was immediately sold. No kneading, no rising, no waiting! Sign me up!
This bread is filled with oats and white whole wheat flour and sweetened with honey. Low fat yogurt, low fat milk, and canola oil add moisture. And although it resembles a loaf of sandwich bread, the texture and flavor of this bread is different, since there is no yeast. Think: quick bread, not sandwich bread.
Honey Oat Bread
This bread has a lot going for it – it is tender and slightly dense with a fine crumb. The top of the loaf is golden brown and glistening with honey, and the interior is soft. It has a slight sweetness without being too sweet. Plus, it’s good for you, too!
This bread is fabulous straight from the oven or reheated in your toaster. Spread on some honey butter and top with sea salt, honey, or jam. It’s the perfect accompaniment to a bowl or soup or a salad, and it makes fantastic toast for breakfast.
Wait, did I just make homemade bread in under an hour?! Yes, yes I did. 🙂 And you can too!
Recipe
Honey Oat Quick Bread (no yeast, no knead)
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons oats (old fashioned or quick), divided
- 1 ⅓ cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- 1 scant cup plain yogurt, see note
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon honey, divided
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oats in the pan. Tip the pan back and forth to coat the sides and bottom with oats.
- In a large bowl, stir together white whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, use a fork to beat 1 cup oats, yogurt, egg, oil, and ¼ cup honey until well blended. Stir in milk. Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture until thoroughly incorporated but not overmixed (excess mixing can cause toughening). Pour the batter into the pan, spreading evenly to the edges.
- Bake the loaf in the center of the oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes (beginning checking at 30 minutes). Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. While the bread is still warm, gently brush the top of the loaf with 1 tablespoon of honey. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oats. Allow to cool slightly. Serve warm.

This Covid 19 has everyone wanting to bake their own bread I see! Gonna try this tomorrow. My son loves bread and I am dreading a store run Thanks for sharing your recipe . I’d love to know if I could use Bob’s Red Mill AP gluten free flour instead of whole wheat and Regular AP flour.

Hi, just wondering if this could be made with coconut yogurt instead? My husband is allergic to milk.
Celebrating Sweets
That should work, although I haven’t tried it. Best of luck! Enjoy!
Wynn
Hi, do you know how much gluten free flour I could use instead and if anything else needs to be added? Thank you..
Celebrating Sweets
You can try swapping the all purpose AND white whole wheat flour for a gluten free flour blend. I have not tried it, but I would guess that it should work.
Bev
This has become a firm favorite with my family. we bake every second day and nothing ever goes to waste. Quick, easy and most definitely flop proof. Thank you.

This oatmeal bread looks so good! I love the idea of using yogurt in it! I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Becca
Can I make this bread with applesauce and take out the yogurt and sugar? I don’t have anymore yogurt.
Celebrating Sweets
I would recommend swapping the yogurt for sour cream or buttermilk, something with a bit more acidity. I’m not sure how the applesauce will work. Best of luck playing around with it.
Sharmila
Hi can I replace oats with all purpose flour . And is1 cup in your recipe 240 ml. I would like to try this recipe because I don’t want to buy bread from stores during this pandemic and there is shortage of dry yeast .
Celebrating Sweets
I’ve only made this recipe as written, so I can’t say for sure. I believe one US cup measurement is around 237ml.
Vanessa

Celebrating Sweets
Most likely, although I haven’t tried it.
