Rustic Oats and Honey Bread

This bread was the perfect balance of sweet, but not too sweet. It works well to compliment a savory meal, or with some butter and jam for breakfast! Definitely a recipe that I plan on making again soon. The bread will only stay good for a few days, so try to plan a few meals that can incorporate it! It would be a shame to see such a delicious loaf go to waste.

2 T plus 1 C old-fashioned oats

1 1/3 C whole wheat flour

1 C all-purpose flour

2 ¼ t baking powder

¼ t baking soda

1 ¼ t salt

8 ounces non-fat yogurt

1 large egg

¼ C canola oil

¼ C honey

¾ C skim milk

Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375F. Grease a loaf pan, then sprinkle 1 T old-fashioned oats, making sure to coat the sides and bottom of the pan.

In a bowl, combine all ingredients from the whole-wheat flour through the salt. In a separate bowl, beat 1 C old-fashioned oats, yogurt, egg, oil and honey. Gently stir the yogurt mix into the flour mix, making sure not to overmix! Spread into the pan, and sprinkle with the remaining oats.

Bake for 40-50 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
