This gluten free honey oat bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, french toast, dessert bread, and much more! This is one of those homemade gluten free bread recipes that I like to keep on hand at all times because it’s so delicious!

Homemade bread recipes are always better than store-bought, in my opinion, especially when it comes to gluten free breads. It’s SO hard to find a good GF bread at the store. Plus, most of them contain unnecessary additives that I try to avoid.

Choosing the Right Gluten Free Flour

For this particular bread recipe, you want to make sure you use an all-purpose gluten free flour that says one of the following on the bag:

  • Cup for Cup
  • 1:1
  • Measure for Measure

Below, I’ve listed some great options:

It’s also important that you sift the flour. This will ensure that there are no lumps and it makes the flour more “airy,” which helps to yield a more fluffy bread. In fact, I like to sift the flour any time I’m making any type of bread recipe.

This gluten free honey oat bread recipe is great for sandwiches, toast, and more!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 C. Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour (Cup for Cup, Measure for Measure, 1:1, see details above)

  • 2 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda

  • 1 tsp Sea Salt

  • 1 C. Rolled Oats

  • 1/4 C. Coconut Oil, melted

  • 1 C. Plain Greek Yogurt (can also use a dairy free yogurt)

  • 1 Egg

  • 1/4 C. Raw Honey

  • 3/4 C. Unsweetened Almond Milk

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift the gluten free flour to remove all lumps. **I like to sift with this strainer I found on Amazon. Then, add the baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Gently mix.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, melted coconut oil, yogurt, egg, and honey. Mix with a whisk until fully combined. Then, slowly pour in the almond milk and continue to mix until fully combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until fully incorporated. The texture will be slightly thick, not watery.
  • Transfer this mixture into the loaf pan. Spread evenly. Sprinkle some rolled oats over top. Bake bread for 45-55 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
  • Once done, allow bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes then transfer bread to a cooling rack to cool completely. ENJOY! **Makes 15 slices

Notes & Nutrition

  • Glass Loaf Pan
  • For storage, be sure to wrap bread tightly with saran wrap or foil. If stored at room temperature, bread should last up to a week. If stored in the fridge, it should last up to 2 weeks.

    It is a really delicious GF bread but mine got very heavy and only about 1inch high. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn’t know what size loaf pan to use so I used my 9×5. Any thoughts on why it got so dense would be greatly appreciated because I’d like to make it again but I’d like it not so dense. Thank you 😊

    Can you use an alternative milk instead of almond? Will it still come out okay?

      Absolutely! Any type of milk will work, except the canned full-fat coconut milk. But, almond, rice, oat, cashew, etc. will work. Regular milk should also work, but I’ve never tried this recipe with it.

    It’s delicious, but I had trouble getting it completely done in the middle? Is there a trick to that? Definitely one I will make again – so easy and quick! Just need it to be more done in the middle!

    My loaf came out beautifully! The taste and texture is 10/10! But I’m having a hard time with it being crumbly. It just falls apart. Any advise? It’s very moist and dense. I live at 8000 ft so I added 1/4tsp of extra baking soda and baked it for 50 min. I’m wondering if I should have baked it a bit longer? Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe! 🤗

      Hmm.. I haven’t had this issue with this bread recipe. The only thing I can suggest is to try adding in some type of starch, such as tapioca or arrowroot starch. This may keep it from crumbling. Let me know if it works.

    I added 3/4 tsp of baking soda and 1 more egg because this recipe didn’t seem like it had enough rising ingredients in it. I just went by my banana quick bread recipe for this addition. It turned out great!!

    I made this the other night for my husband and he loved it! It was so delicious! I’m hoping to make it again for my oldest daughter when she comes home from college but she is allergic to almonds. Would coconut milk be a good replacement? Thank you!

    I am only 3 years into my celiac diagnosis so I miss bread, I am 45 years old so it was a hard switch for me. This bread did not disappoint at all. Soooo good and I used our neighbors own honey that they added raspberry flavoring to one of the jars so used it in the bread. Seriously so very very good. It took everything to not have another slice.

      I made a loaf of this bread today. I have rosacea and I read gluten is a major cause of the flare-ups. So, I was missing bread in my life and wanted to try this since honey oat bread is our favorite. I’m sooo glad I did. I followed the recipe exactly and my loaf turned out amazing! My husband and I both love the flavor, texture and smell of this delightful bread. Thank you for putting delicious bread back into our lives 💖

    Just made this bread for my GF son. It rose more like a pound cake or banana bread with a crack on top. I did add an extra egg but what I think is critical for this recipe is to beat the batter for 3 minutes with an electric mixer after initially mixing. That adds air to the batter for a better rise. The texture to this is dense, but it rose very well, and the taste is delicious. All I had was vanilla Oikos yogurt, so there is a bit of vanilla in mine. But it did rise well and my son likes it a lot. I have been baking GF for 15 years. Hope this helps someone.

FAQs

What is the trick to making good gluten free bread? ›

  1. Use Psyllium Husk Powder as a binder for better Gluten Free Bread.
  2. The benefits of letting your dough rest, my second tip for baking better gluten free bread.
  3. Mix or knead your bread dough thoroughly.
  4. For a better gluten free loaf, use less yeast.
  5. Bake your bread in a tin with tall sides.

What does oat flour do to bread? ›

Oat flour is useful even for traditional baking. Try using it for kneading whole-wheat bread. It keeps the dough from sticking but, unlike regular flour, won't toughen the dough if you incorporate too much.

Does oat bread have less gluten? ›

Oats and oat products are used in a wide range of bread and bakery products. However, because oats contain β-glucan and little or no gluten, it is a technological challenge to produce bread with an acceptable volume and texture quality using high levels of oats (Oomah, 1983).

Why does my gluten free bread fall apart? ›

If your gluten free bread is falling apart, you didn't use a binder in the flour blend. Gluten in wheat is the “glue” that holds regular baking together. Gluten free flour doesn't have the same “glue,” so you have to add it.

What flour is best for gluten-free bread? ›

What's the best gluten-free flour for baking? Bob's Red Mill gluten-free 1-to-1 baking mix is my favorite gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for baking. It has a mild texture and plenty of "stick" thanks to a blend of sweet rice flour, brown rice flour, and sorghum flour, plus some starches and xanthan gum.

Why add vinegar to gluten-free bread? ›

Apple Cider Vinegar – Superpower your Gluten-Free Kitchen! Apple cider vinegar is often used in baking, but why? It is a great leavening agent, but it also has powerful flavour enhancing properties. I find it adds the perfect amount of depth of flavour, and helps activate baking soda creating a lovely airy texture.

Will yeast rise with oat flour? ›

Oat flour does not rise as much as wheat flour because it is gluten-free, but there are ways you can get around this by increasing the yeast or using another additive.

Is oat bread better for you than wheat bread? ›

Oats are also richer in protein than wheat (about twice the amount), which is obviously beneficial if you're trying to build and repair muscles; they have a bevy of vitamins, like vitamin E, and nutrients, like iron and calcium. Oat bread may contain whole grain oat groats, steel-cut oats, and thick oats.

What is the ratio of oat flour to regular flour? ›

To replace 1 cup of all-purpose flour, you'll need to multiply that by 1.4 to get a similar weight of oat flour. For example, if a cookie recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, you'll need to multiply that by 1.4 to get the correct amount of oat flour to use.

Why are oats not gluten-free? ›

Indeed, gluten contamination of oat occurs frequently. Typically, commercially available oats are not suitable in a gluten-free diet for celiac patients due to their routine contamination with wheat, rye, or barley.

Does oat bread raise blood sugar? ›

The high fiber content of those breads leads to a lower and slower rise in blood sugar compared to other breads. On top of that, whole grain sourdough bread and bread made from oats have been shown to further slow the rise of blood sugar, which could make them an even healthier choice for those with diabetes.

What is the biggest challenge of making gluten free bread? ›

However, these alternative flours do not have the same properties as wheat flour, which can make baking gluten-free bread a challenge. One of the main challenges in making gluten-free bread is achieving the same texture and rise as traditional wheat bread.

Why does gluten free bread still make me sick? ›

In some cases, you may need to look into whether you're reacting to foods other than gluten — it's common for people with celiac disease to also have lactose intolerance, for example, and many people report distinctly different reactions to soy and corn, both highly allergenic foods in their own right.

What binds gluten free bread? ›

When making gluten-free breads, flatbreads, etc., Psyllium husk acts similarly to the way gluten would act in traditional wheat bread. It provides the binding properties and elasticity that helps the dough become workable. It gives the structure and support for the bread to rise, as well.

Why is it so challenging to make good gluten free bread? ›

Gluten free bread takes much longer than a regular loaf to bake and therefore a sticky crumb is generally the result of under baking. It is easy to see why this can happen, gluten free bread dough needs more moisture and is often difficult to knead with conventional methods.

Is there a trick to baking with gluten-free flour? ›

Mix Batters Longer

While conventional wisdom has taught us not to overmix our batters, we've found most gluten-free batters simply need to be stirred for longer. If you're worried this will turn your muffins and cakes rubbery, have no fear. Gluten-free recipes need to have more structure.

How to make gluten free bread rise higher? ›

Eggs are natural leaveners that help boost the rise and volume of bread. Eggs also add moisture, flavor, and protein to gluten-free bread recipes. If you select a gluten-free bread recipe that includes eggs, you have a better chance that the resulting bread will have good color, more volume, and softer texture.
