About Me

I am a fun loving southern girl with food allergies. I love to cook and to share the results with my friends. After years of those same friends asking for recipes and ideas...here's the blog and hopefully one day a book. Thanks for stopping by!

Oatmeal Soda Bread

The hardest thing for me to do without is bread. I love bread! Not only am I gluten free but I have a yeast allergy so absolutely NO bread. No rolls, no toast, no sandwiches, you get the picture.

Gluten free breads are not always what we remember. The taste and texture is just not there. I have tried some that turn out gummy in the center, all gluten free baked goods are moister. I have been told that others are like eating cardboard. Well, this one is FANTASTIC!!!

This is a moist, slightly sweet bread with a perfect texture. The flavor of the honey is perfect, it only needs a smear of butter. I can hardly wait for breakfast!

3 ½ cups GF all-flour
½ cup Quick cooking Oats
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 tablespoon White Sugar
3 teaspoons Xanthum Gum
8 ounces Sour Cream
¾ cup Whole Milk
2 tablespoons Honey
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon oats

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Set aside 2 tablespoons melted butter and the 1 tablespoon oats.

Combine remaining dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Stir the remaining wet ingredients together, then add in the dry ingredients.

On a lightly floured surface, form bread into a round then place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Brush top with the reserved 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with the reserved oats. Score the top into quarters.

Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before slicing.
ENJOY!
