Tuesdays with Dorie: Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

This summer is flying right past me. I've had a great one. It's been busy yet so relaxing. Adam and I have been traveling a lot (two weeks in New England and we just got back from 8 days in Jackson Hole, Wyoming) and are finally starting to settle down.

I think I'll be welcoming the structure of fall with open arms. Fall is such a glorious time for baking. I picture the warmth coming from the oven, children in school and the coziness of the season. For some reason this Oatmeal Breakfast Bread brought all of those feelings out tonight.

Oatmeal Breakfast Bread for Tuesdays with Dorie

This bread is light, moist and delicious. It has a good amount of spice from the cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. I filled mine with dried figs and a bit of dried apples. It's a true quick bread and includes oil, applesauce, two eggs and buttermilk. It also has one full cup of oats. Oh and I should mention that it has a topping of brown sugar, walnuts or pecans and cinnamon. Yum.

You'll enjoy this oatmeal bread for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can get the recipe from Natalie's blog, Oven Love. Be sure to check out all the other Tuesdays with Dorie baker's blogs to see how they liked the recipe.

I love Jackson Hole Wy. My daughter has played at a few soccer tournaments there! It's such a pretty area.
Your bread looks great! I loved this recipe.
I so agree with you..that fall is the time to bake! I can't wait!

I'm trying to figure out where you're from that has you in the mood for fall. Utah maybe? It is so hot here (TX) that autumn seems a century away.

I agree this is a "fallish" recipe. I have never cooked with dried figs and very little with dried apples. Looks like I've been missing out.

I'm psyched for fall baking, that's for sure! And it's been so hot, I'm ready for a little cool weather. Anyway...beautiful breakfast bread.

I can't even begin to think about Fall weather as I'm in Texas and we don't see much of a Fall. More like Summer and winter... but without the snow. But this bread did evoke some seasonal feelings! Great looking bread, by the way!
