I meant “whole wheat flour”, not “whole wheat bread”!!!

I made this today and it came out great. It rose nicely. I used large oats (not quick) and whole wheat bread, but everything else was as per your instructions (oh, I used the larger loaf size setting on my machine, not the smaller one). Thank you! I’ll be making this again, for sure. So wholesome and beautiful and delicious!

Thank you for your comment. 1 packet of yeast contains 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast so if you’d like to halve this recipe I’d use a rounded teaspoon in your machine. Also, I’m sure it would be fine to use the packets of instant oatmeal that you have on hand. Just make sure they’re plain or you might end up with apple-cinnamon molasses bread

Good luck with your baking!

REading your recipe, I have 2 questions..

Mine is a 1 b machine.. I could use 2/3 of each ingredient… but I have no idea how much yeast is in a package.. mine comes in a jar..

AND could I use the Packet of Oatmeal that makes ONE serving.. At 82 years old and living alone, I don’t have large quantities of ingredients and don’t like buying something that I won’t use up..

Thank you so very much for the terribly kind comment! I know first hand how much of a pain it is to have bread machine recipes turn out poorly so I’m happy to have created something that you enjoyed!

Thanks for visiting and my She-Ra dolls say hello

This is my first time to your blog. I was just hunting around for a passable oatmeal molasses loaf recipe. I honestly have to admit I chose this over the other recipes I saw simply based on the fact that you talk about wearing your She-Ra pajamas as a kid. I’m just slightly biased

I am glad I did choose this recipe because it was simply divine. I changed two things. I used sorghum instead of molasses and I swapped out 1 cup of the bread flour for whole wheat. Even with the swap this turned out to be the best loaf I’ve ever had from the bread machine. It was light and fluffy and moist and completely delicious. Best texture, best crust, best flavor! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I just made this bread yesterday and it was delicious! Normally I don’t use that much yeast but this was perfect, the texture was light and fluffy. Thank you!

I thought the oats would be visible (and, thus, a turn-off to the kids)… I’m happily surprised that this loaf is *so* smooth in texture. Amazing! Thanks for posting it.
