    Quick Honey Oat Bread (No Yeast)

    Jump to Recipe
    2 slices and a loaf of no yeast honey oat bread on a table

    The other day I made a poll in my Instagram story asking you guys what type of bread works for you now, yeasted bread or no yeast bread (quick bread). The winner was quick bread and so here it it!

    So by your choice, today I'm sharing this quick honey oat bread that doesn't require any yeast, at all. Yes, I know. Yeast is categorised as an endangered species (item?) now.

    But hey, no worries. Let's make this beauty instead!

    Quick Bread Characteristics

    Yes, let's get straight to the point and talk about the differences of this quick bread (no yeast) and the typical bread (with yeast).

    Leavening agent - I'm using the combination of baking powder and baking soda as the leavening agents, instead of yeast. So for those who don't even remember how yeast looks like (it has been gone for that long!), this is the recipe for you! Yeay!

    All purpose flour - Yes, I'm using all purpose flour here. I know, not only yeast is becoming something to remember (oh so dramatic! Haha!) but bread flour is also joining the group. So no worries, good old plain all purpose flour will do.

    No knead - No, there's no let-your-anger-out kneading session in this recipe. It's just a super brief whisking session, with a hand whisk.

    No proof time -  No, and that's why it's called "quick" bread. No waiting game here, sir. It's all go, go, go!

    Texture - It doesn't have that typical chewy bread texture that a yeasted bread would have. Remember: no yeast, low protein flour and no knead means no gluten was developed, which also means no chewy bready texture. This quick bread texture is in between a bread and a cake. Breadcake? Instead of chewy, it's soft.

    Taste - tastes exactly like any other honey oat bread, which is delicious!

    So now that you know all the differences, you say if you'd give it a go or no. While I don't understand why you wouldn't give this delicious quick bread a go, but hey.. to each their own. Right? *wink!*

    Can I Toast This Bread?

    The answer is, yes.

    How do I know? Because I test-toasted it!

    I tried with my regular toaster, the one that your toast will jump up when it's done? Yes, that one. Well, I don't recommend using that for this quick bread. While the bread itself toasts nicely (and oh the smell!) but I find it kind of tricky to get it out from the toaster since it gets tender when it's hot.

    So I tried toasting it in a pan, on the stove. YES! That's the winner!

    I used medium high heat and a spatula to flip it. Then I spread some butter on it, gave it a bite. Oh la la!

    Try!

        Hi Abigail! I'm glad that you liked it, thank you! I've tried using flaxseed eggs for something similar and found out that I didn't like the texture (and taste). It was too crumbly for me, and the bread got dense. Yes, almond milk would work. Hope it helps.

        Hi! I haven't tried but I'm thinking yes, although the texture would be effected (would be dense). Hope it helps.

      I made this last night and it was a lovely, quick recipe! The bread came out soft and smelling delicious. Although it did not rise as much as I expected it to, it still tasted delicious when we had it this morning. I am excited to make it again and also to try more recipes from your blog!

        Hi Zahrah! This is a quick no knead bread so it will not have the same typical characteristics as a yeasted kneaded bread, you can refer to my post above. Glad you liked it anyways, thank you!
