This Old Fashioned Oatmeal Bread Machine Bread is a very simple and delicious oatmeal bread recipe you can make completely in your bread machine.
My sons love this bread!
I started my bread-baking journey using a bread machine, and this was one of the first recipes I ever made in the bread maker. It’s still one of our favorites.
The original version called for molasses, but I substituted honey and my family likes it much better.

I have a bread maker and want to find a recipe that doesn’t involve wholemeal flour. Is there one?
Hi Jean, this recipe for oatmeal bread doesn’t include wholemeal flour. It is made with bread flour; however, it does include some rolled oats. Is that what you are asking?
If I wanted to put this into a standard loaf pan and cook in the oven once the dough cycle was complete, at what temp and for how long would I bake this?
Hi Steven,
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes in a 9×5-inch pan. Check out this post https://www.breadexperience.com/einkorn-oatmeal-bread-machine-bread/.
Happy Baking!
Cathy
Please can you tell me what sweet setting is I don’t think I have that setting on my bread machine.
Hi Carol, the Sweet setting is typically one of the choices listed on the bread machine; however, if you don’t have that option, try the Basic setting.
Hi Cathy, Thank you I have a old bread machine.
