ThisOat Flour Bread iscrusty on the outside, soft on the inside and has a lovely nutty flavour!It's filling and nutritious, and is a good source of protein and fibre. There's no kneading or proving time required and it comes together in one bowl. It's vegan, gluten-free,yeast-free,free from sugar, oil-free and nut-free optional. Perfect for making toast for breakfast!
Are oats gluten-free?
Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they are usually processed using the same facilities as other grains including wheat, rye and barley, which contain gluten. So, most oats you buy will contain gluten through cross-contamination.
So, if you have coeliac disease, a gluten allergy or are severely gluten intolerant, you will have to make sure you buy gluten-free certified oats.
Where can you buy gluten-free oats?
You can buy gluten-free certified oats in most supermarkets, local health stores or online.
How do you make oat flour?
Although you can buy oat flour, I much prefer to make my own as it's much cheaper and it's so easy to make.
1. Place the oats in a food processor.
2. Whizz until you get a fine powder.
I personally love these FREEE Gluten-Free Organic Porridge Oats.
I'm super excited to be making a recipe using a FREEE product as the brand has been a lifesaver for me as they also make my favourite gluten-free flours and pastas!
As well as the gluten-free oats, FREEE also have an entire range of breakfast cereals, including Cereal Flakes, Fibre Flakes, Corn Flakes and Chocolate Stars, which are all organic, gluten-free and vegan certified. Finding a quick breakfast that suits your dietary requirements is now as easy as one, two, FREEE!
All of the products are made in dedicated production facilities, which are gluten-free certified, which is great as you don't have to worry about cross-contamination!

Top tips
- If you’ve kept your bread in the oven for the right amount of time and it’s still not done in the centre and the outside is becoming hard/burnt, then I would recommend covering it with a piece of baking paper to prevent the outside from becoming burnt, and and continuing to bake it until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Make sure to leave the bread to cool down completely on acooling rackbefore packing it away to store because otherwise the steam from the warm bread will get trapped and you’ll end up with soggy bread, which nobody wants!
How long does this bread keep for?
- It keeps well covered in the fridge for a good few days. If not eaten on the day it’s made, it’s best toasted before eating.
- If you’re freezing it, you can just slice it up and put the whole thing in the freezer. Then when you want to eat it you can just pop the slices of bread in the toaster straight from frozen.
