Oatmeal Molasses Bread

"I found this recipe in an old Taste of Home magazine. It was submitted by Ruth Andrewson. I have some aunts that LOVE this bread. It calls for bread flour, but I use 100% whole wheat with great results."

  1. I rarely leave reviews - but this bread MADE me! I've cooked DOZENS of whole wheat bread machine recipes, but this is hands down THE BEST one I've ever made! Love baking with molasses since it's the only sweetener that has an actual "benefit" (iron). THANK YOU for the recipe!!! :)
     
  2. This bread was amazing!!! I wasn't to sure of it when I smelled it after and when it was baking, but WOW!!!! The taste is not too sweet but it's just enough. I used regular white flour and it turned out great!!! Thank you for sharing such a great recipe :)
     
  3. Delicious! I didn't have a packet of yeast, so I measured 1/4 oz based on my little measuring shot glass which equaled 1.5 tsp. I think I should have used more so next time I'll try 2 tsp. Nevertheless, this was a sweet, delicious dark bread. I will definately be making this again! Thanks!
     
  4. This was great bread-and very easy to make! I usually don't try recipes that have not been rated before, (because I like to see if others had problems first,) but I was looking for something different to make in my bread maker; this was the first recipe that popped up and it looked really good. I used the whole wheat flour, which really turned out nice, and I only had 1/4 cup of molasses left, so I added dark corn syrup for the other 1/4 cup. The thing I really like is that this is a nice, substantial bread, but some wheat breads are sort of tasteless, and this has a very fresh taste. I will probably make this bread once a week.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a stay-at-home mom, school volunteer, church volunteer, etc., and I live in Middle Tennessee. I like to read, visit the mountains, crochet, cook, etc. My favorite cookbook at this time is Recipe Hall of Fame Quick & Easy Cookbook. My passions are raising children with good moral character, being a good Christian, and food! My pet peeves are recipe instructions that leave out what to do with one of the ingredients, and people who won't put their shopping carts in the cart corrals! I have twin daughters who are in their second year of college and a son who is 16. My girls' college is close enough that I can come by every couple of weeks or so. When I tell them I'm coming, they ask Are you bearing baked goods?. Usually, I am, to the excitement of their suitemates!
