Hearty Oat Loaf
I like to serve wedges of this bread with stew or bean soup. My husband thinks it's a big treat—little does he know how easy it is to make. My children eat it for breakfast the next day with butter and strawberry jam.

I've been making this for years. In fact, I'm making it right now! :) We love it with chili or soup. This is a family favorite!
This bread has been a favorite for many years! I love how healthy and hearty it is. Perfect with a bowl of soup!
Love this recipie! I add all sorts of stuuf to it for a variety....cheese, basil, rosemary, ect
Very easy to make. My children really liked it.
I think this recipe could be better with some alterations. Mine was rather crumbly and seemed to be lacking in flavor. So next time I think I'll use 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour or maybe more, and reduce the all-purpose then. I also might substitute brown sugar for the white sugar to enhance the flavor. I would still try this recipe again though, since I think it could be very good if the recipe was tweaked a bit.
It's a little crumbly but moist and a nice taste! Really quick to throw together if you're short on time.
I made this in a casserole because I don't have the right cake pan. It stuck to the bottom. I think next time I'll make it in a springform pan for easier release. It was yummy with butter, but when it tested done, it wasn't; so we enjoyed slightly doughy bread. I used 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup AP flour and old fashioned oats.
I have used this recipe for years. It is awesome! Very hearty, quick and tastes great. It is great toasted also. I always get compliments on it. Great with bread. I got it out of taste of home years ago.
