From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I know he means well, but sometimes the Silver Fox is not helpful. He has a tendency to comment on works in progress and I really didn't need to hear his, "...that'll grow hair on your chest," as I added oatmeal to my bread mix. As a child I was very literal minded. If someone were to say I'm beside myself, you can bet I checked the room. Old habits die hard. Without thinking, I glanced down and managed to give him his laugh of the day. What can I say? While it's more nutritious than many, the bread is not a cure for male pattern baldness. It is very easy to prepare and it can be quickly made with no special equipment. Needless to say, it perfumes the kitchen as it bakes and the lingering aroma of cinnamon and apples will drive the unsuspecting to distraction. It's a really nice bread that can be made with a wooden spoon. While it is heavier than many quick breads, it's a perfect fall treat. The bread stays fresh for days and it makes wonderful toast. I hope you will try it. Here's the recipe.
Apple Oatmeal Bread...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1-1/2 cups grated apple
1/4 cup raisins
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
2) Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and oats in a large bowl. Add apple, raisins, eggs, milk, and oil. Mix until dry ingredients are moistened. Mixture will be stiff.
3) Put mixture into prepared pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until done. Let sit for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and continue cooling on a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (about 12 slices).

How funny! sounds like something my husband would say! I hope you are buying colorful saris, eating fine indian cuisine, and NOT daring to climb the Himalayas!
His comments aside, this sounds delicious. :) Thanks for the recipe.
Well, at least you can still make him smile after all the years you have been together! I can just imagine how wonderful your kitchen smelled while that luscious bread was baking.
Apples + Oatmeal are ingredients I like to use. I will be baking this. :) Enjoy your trip!

Hi Marry

I love this bread full of fall tastes! Oatmeal and apple area pairing very well!
I have oatmeal and apples -- this may be a project this afternoon.
Amazing looking bread, Mary, I have not tried this combination before. Must taste really delicious.Hope you are enjoying your holiday!
I'm surprised that you didn't sub some whole wheat flour to make it even more nutritious. Hope you're enjoying your travels.

LOL! I have a similar issue with being sensitive. The slightest offhand comment will have me reeling (internally) for days...
Glad you stuck to your guns with the oatmeal. I adore it in quick breads. And funnily enough I was just craving something different for breakfast so thanks for sharing!
They can be so sarcastic sometimes...but funny. This bread recipe seems like a perfect soup go with. Too easy not to try! Hope you are enjoying that vacation.
What a great recipe! Hope you are enjoying your trip.
My husband definitely needs this delicious sounding bread! If you see the Yeti, get a photo!
Best,
Bonnie

Apple and oatmeal all wrapped up in a bread form??? Yes please!
looks perfectly done and very delicious...
Mary, your post made me laugh, it is too cute! Love this bread recipe, I can only imagine how wonderful your kitchen must have smelled :o)
The bread looks fantastic! Thanks for the recipe.
Well I HOPE this doesn't put hair on my chest because I absolutely need to make it. But I do NOT need hair on my chest. At all. :P
That bread is right up my hubbies alley, he would adore it!
Love the sound and the look of the bread!Apple and oatmeal comfort food for me.
I love something quick like this that you can stir together with a woodne spoon. Great for on the run breakfasts.
Outstanding ♥
Apple oatmeal toast sounds lovely!
I recently was given some tiny imperfect apples...I thought of cooking with them but I had a suspicion and sure enough they taste better than any I have had even from the farmer's market of late. If I don't eat every tiny one of them fresh I know what recipe I should try them in.
Thank you!
Mary, have a wonderful trip and the bread looks yummy, oatmeal sound so healthy :)
Hmmm, I think we all have a "silver fox" roaming in the kitchen! While I don't need hair on my chest, I do believe I need this bread. What a great recipe, thanks so much.
