This quick and healthy bread has become a staple in our household. The oats and whole wheat give it a rustic texture, while the honey provides a hint of sweetness. There are endless variations (e.g. add cheese, green onions, jalapenos, etc.), so one can change things up depending on the mood! Other whole grains such as flax or chia seeds work well in this recipe as substitutes for oats, so feel free to experiment. This can also become a vegan recipe by using soy or rice milk instead of cow’s milk.
