Oatmeal breakfast bread – packed with rolled oats, walnuts and raisins for a fueling and satisfying breakfast
Oatmeal is my go-to breakfast Monday to Friday. Although I’m a stay-at-home Mom with a stay-at-home kid most of the days I don’t have all the time in the world to prepare fresh-baked goodies just in time for breakfast. Oatmeal, ready in less than 5 minutes. Satisfying? Check! Healthy? Check!
Over the weekend, there’s another story. Since everyone loves to sleep in late I try to wake up as early as possible and turn the oven one. I know when hubby and our little lady bug will wake up we’ll have time to sit down and enjoy our breakfast without feeling rushed. I love lazy weekends! Don’t you?
A few weeks ago, the idea of making oatmeal bread for breakfast got into my heard and didn’t want to leave. I’ve tried a couple of times in the past to make oatmeal bread. Some tuned out OK, some a little dense but none like this oatmeal breakfast bread.
This time it was light, you could see the oats when slicing it, packed with walnuts and sweet raisins. With every slice you get some fiber from the oats, omega 3 fatty acids from the walnuts and just a little something for the sweet tooth from the raisins. It’s definitely a bread made for breakfast. Spread some cream cheese of top, serve with fresh fruit. I see many weekends enjoying this oatmeal breakfast bread with my family.
To make it it’s a little tricky, and I’m telling that from experience. I’ve already made it a couple of times and I found that not all the time the amount of flour it’s the same. Some a little less some a little more.
I usually buy Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats, may them be gluten-free or the organic ones, but some oats are drier than the other requiring more or less liquid or flour. The same goes for walnuts and raisins.
Below I’m going to write the recipe that works best for my ingredients, but please, check your dough before adding more flour.

A breakfast trofee in a pedestal is what this bread is… I just wish I was the winner!! Great job on both the recipe and photos, Roxana!
I am seriously going crazy for this bread…this is exactly what I love in a bread! Perfect for any occasion, or to just to have with wine! Roxana, this is gorgeous!!!
This bread looks wonderful, Roxana! I’d love a slice with mascarpone and jam!
This is a great looking healthy loaf. Congratulations on getting it looking this good.
Roxana this bread is gorgeous! It can be tricky baking bread with oats (or wheat flour) b/c as you said, they can be a little dense and not as light but this looks fluffy as air and love the hearty texture! Pinning!
This looks wonderful! What kind of flour did you use for this?
Hi Jachi,
I’ve used Pillsbury bread flour
Roxana
I totally want a bunch of this bread for breakfast-so yummy!
This looks delightful! Is that meant to be 1/3 cup maple syrup? I will definitely be trying this soon…Mmm
Hi Kearsten,
Yes, it’s 1/3 cup maple syrup. Thanks for pointing that out.
Roxana
What could be a substitute for maple syrup?
Hi Sandy,
you could try honey instead of the maple syrup.
Roxana
What makes to bread brown?
Hi Debbie,
That’s a very good question. It’s the combination of the maple syrup with the raisins. The darker the raisins the darker the dough. Use golden raisins if you prefer a lighter bread.

I am just like you, oatmeal is my go-to breakfast. It’s quick and nutritious and I love adding in fruit with it.
This bread looks gorgeous! Traveling in Asia we feel kind of deprived of good, hearty bread. One of your great bread recipes is on the top of my must-bake-once-back list.
GORGEOUS bread!
Can this be made in a bread machine as well?
Hi Natalie,
if you prefer making the dough in the bread machine, follow the instructions from Red Star Yeast website http://www.redstaryeast.com/our-best-recipes/breads-rolls-and-more/oatmeal-breakfast-bread
Happy baking,
Roxana
Thanks 🙂
I’d love to enjoy several slices of this bread on those fabulously lazy weekends! 🙂
Just found your blog! Fresh baked bread is the best. I will have to try a few of these. Will need to make high altitude adjustments, (hoping I can figure that out). Living at 7000 ft makes baking a challenge. 🙂
Hi Susan,
Thanks for stopping by. I do not have any tips for high altitude baking, but I hope you’ll figure it out.

This bread is delicious!! I’ve made it 4 times in the last 4 weeks and will be making it often. Thank you!!!
