This Honey Oat Bread is so flavourful and delicious! It’s a little sweet, a lot hearty, loaded up with bran, chewy wheat berries and oats. So so good.
A hearty bread machine recipe.
I love bread machine recipes and make them all the time. Having a bread machine do all the kneading and most of the rising is so great. I love shaping the dough into loaves, with the end result being a homemade, home baked loaf of bread. The best.
Artisanal bread made at home.
For an extra special artisanal touch, score the tops of the loaves, brush with an egg wash and sprinkle with oats before baking. The result are loaves of bread that look like they came from the bakery.
Bread Machine Honey Oat Bread Recipe Tips
- OATS: Use quick oats.
- MILK: Use room temperature milk, 2% or 3%.
- YOGURT: You can use a thick plain yogurt like Greek yogurt. Sour cream would work too.
- MOLASSES + HONEY: This recipe calls for 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp molasses. You can use all honey, or all molasses too.
- WHEAT BERRIES: Use cooked wheat berries. Here’s my post for how to cook wheat berries. TIP: I make a batch ahead of time for breakfast and save 1/2 cup for this recipe.
- YEAST: Use fresh instant yeast, also called Bread Machine Yeast and Rapid Rise Yeast.
- PREPARE THE BAKING PAN: Grease a large baking pan with oil (vegetable oil or olive oil). Or line it with parchment paper.
- WHEN IS THE BREAD DONE BAKING? The bread loaves will sound hollow when you tap the tops, and the tops will be golden brown.
- FREEZING: This bread freezes well. Let the bread cool completely before freezing. I keep them in freezer bags.
- SLICING TIP! Don’t try to slice into your bread too soon after baking or you’ll squish it.

Serving Suggestions:
This bread is delicious as is, smothered with butter or olive oil! It’s fantastic with sandwiches, as toast, as french toast and for dipping into soups and stews.

- Choose the ‘Dough Cycle’.
- Once the dough cycle has completed, remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and cover with a clean damp tea towel. Let the dough rise for 15 more minutes.
- After this time, split the dough into 2 pieces, then shape each piece into a ball.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with oil then place the balls on the pan, at least 2 inches apart so when they rise they don't touch each other. Using a sharp knife or bread lame, score the tops of each loaf, I like to do an X.
- Cover with a tea towel then let rise for 1 hour.
- Close to the end time for rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Once the rising time has finished, mix together the egg wash ingredients.1 egg yolk, 1 tbsp water
