Flourless Irish Oat Bread Recipe

The Flourless Irish Oat Bread is made by grinding rolled oats into oat flour, then mixing with baking soda and salt. A separate wet mix of egg, plain whole milk yogurt, and molasses is blended and stirred into the dry ingredients to form a batter. This mixture is spread evenly into a buttered and parchment-lined loaf pan, then baked until firm and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

The baking soda interacts with the acidic yogurt, allowing the bread to rise despite the lack of traditional wheat flour. The molasses adds a subtle sweetness and deep flavor. The texture is dense but moist, suitable for slicing and spreading with butter, particularly Irish butter as suggested. Cooling before slicing helps maintain the loaf's structure.

This bread is good for those seeking a wheat-free option with the familiar appearance of a loaf. It pairs well with butter, jam, or savory toppings at breakfast or tea. Storage at room temperature for a few days is possible, with freezing recommended for longer keeping.
