Recipe Notes
* I used a 9x5 loaf pan. If you use a narrower loaf pan, you may have to bake it longer to make sure it is done in the middle of the loaf.
You can use up to ½ cup of oat flour in this recipe if you wish. If you use more than that, the recipe may become crumbly.
I've made this recipe with many different combinations - part spelt flour, part oat flour, gluten free flour only, a mix of gluten free flour and oat flour, etc. It always turns out well!
(Spelt flour is not gluten free, so it's not suitable for those on a gluten free diet).
If you'd like a chocolatey treat, try adding ¾ cup of dairy free chocolate chips to this recipe.
