The unicorn of breads – this is moist, fluffy and flavorful with absolutely no gluten, no dairy, no yeast, and no oil! It’s also easy to make and you won’t have to bake all day for one loaf of bread, because this is also no knead and no rise, just mix it in a bowl and put it in the oven!
It’s important for me that if I serve my family bread that it’s as healthy and whole foods as possible. That’s why I created this healthy gluten-free oat bread that is made from oats & flax I grind myself and mix with simple ingredients. Of course you can buy oat flour but I would recommend always grinding your flax seeds from their whole form, flaxmeal is often rancid.
And without the gluten in the bread, they are often crumbly or dry, this is why I used a bit of tapioca flour & ground flax to give it a spongy texture with bounce! It also holds together quite well. 🙂
And in here I use my cashew milk but unsweetened, you can get that recipe right here: Homemade Cashew Milk.
Every good bread should also start with a fermenting agent, yeast is not very digestible and an allergen for some people. You could also use a naturally cultured sourdough starter but those take at least a week to start and have to be maintained, and I’m just not fancy enough for that. So instead I’m using naturally cultured vegan yogurt here. This gives the bread an amazing flavor and also gives the dough the moisture and fermentation it needs without a long wait time.
