A freshly baked loaf of whole grain bread topped with oats is placed on a wooden cutting board. Two slices are cut from the loaf and rest in front of it. A bread knife lies nearby, and there are scattered oat flakes on the cutting board.

This honey oatmeal bread is one of my favorite bread recipes. Nice crust on the outside, soft and delicate on the inside with gentle flavor of honey. This bread recipe is healthy and full of good nutritional values, made with rolled oats and whole wheat flour.
