Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years.

Maple Oat Bread

[heart_this] · May 3, 2009 · 60 Comments

Maple Oat Bread

I had been taking a little break from maple but then I came across this recipe for a maple oat bread that I just had to try. This bread is baked with maple syrup in it and maple sugar is sprinkle on top. The maple-y goodness does not stop there though as I had a jar of maple butter that I was just itching to try. In addition to using the rolled oats this recipe also includes some whole wheat flour which I always like to see. This is a yeast based bread so it takes a bit more effort than the quick breads that I more usually make but it is well worth it. The smell of the maple bread baking was just amazing and only built up the anticipation even more. I could barely wait for the bread to cool down enough to cut of a slice to enjoy. The maple bread was great! It had a nice crisp crust with a light and soft inside and the smelled just like maple syrup. The maple flavour however was more subtle and I really enjoyed it. The maple butter that I served with the bread with added a ton of maple flavour as well. The maple butter tasted just like maple syrup but it had the texture of butter. I will definitely be making this bread again.

    I love bread with oats, they just add such an incredibly crispy texture, while keeping the bread moist. So great! I’m a sweet-tooth all the way, so sweet breads are the way to go for me.
    Thanks for this great recipe 🙂

    Maple is a great flavoring, and oats always make any batter lighter. A winning combination.

    That sounds like a concept – the aroma and flavour of maple syrup, and the health benefits of oats and wholewheat flour! Bonus.

    cathycicek82: I have not tried that. It might be better to let it do the second rising in the fridge overnight. Then let it come to room temperature before baking.
