| Honey Oat Quick Bread |
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons old fashioned rolled oats divided
- 1 1/3 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 scant cup low fat plain yogurt not Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey divided
- 3/4 cup low fat milk
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oats in the pan. Tip the pan back and forth to coat the sides and bottom with oats.
- In a large bowl, stir together white whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, use a fork to beat 1 cup oats, yogurt, egg, oil, and 1/4 cup honey until well blended. Stir in milk. Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture until thoroughly incorporated but not overmixed (excess mixing can cause toughening). Pour the batter into the pan, spreading evenly to the edges.
- Bake the loaf in the center of the oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes (beginning checking at 30 minutes). Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. While the bread is still warm, gently brush the top of the loaf with 1 tablespoon of honey. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oats. Allow to cool slightly. Serve warm.
