Blueberry Oatmeal Bread

This bread is everything you want in a breakfast or quick snack. It's dense, chewy, moist, sweet, and aromatic. The bread gets its nice color from a tablespoon of black strap molasses which also adds a decent amount of nutrients. Feel free to substitute any berry into this bread or omit it completely for a banana oat bread.

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 cup instant oats
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/8-1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 medium over ripe bananas
  • 2-3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon black strap molasses

Directions:
  • Cream eggs, butter and sugar in mixer
  • Mix liquid ingredients
  • Add mashed bananas
  • Start to add dry ingredients
  • Add baking soda/powder and salt
  • Mix in flour
  • Mix in oats
  • Mix in blueberries
  • Grease bread pan
  • Add mixture to pan
  • Bake at 350-375 until done

Enjoy!
