EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Save Rate PRINT Share Cook Time: 15 mins Additional Time: 1 hr 30 mins Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins Servings: 1 Yield: 1 9-by-5-inch loaf Nutrition Profile: Vegetarian Jump to Nutrition Facts Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 2 tablespoons plus 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, or quick-cooking (not instant) oats, divided 1 1/3 cups whole-wheat flour, or white whole-wheat flour (see Tip) 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 ¼ teaspoons salt 8 ounces (scant 1 cup) nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt 1 large egg ¼ cup canola oil 1/4 cup clover honey, or other mild honey ¾ cup nonfat or low-fat milk Directions Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-by-5-inch (or similar size) loaf pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oats in the pan. Tip the pan back and forth to coat the sides and bottom with oats. Thoroughly stir together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using a fork, beat the remaining 1 cup oats, yogurt, egg, oil and honey in a medium bowl until well blended. Stir in milk. Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture just until thoroughly incorporated but not overmixed (excess mixing can cause toughening). Immediately scrape the batter into the pan, spreading evenly to the edges. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon oats over the top. Bake the loaf until well browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. (It's normal for the top to crack.) Let stand in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around and under the loaf to loosen it and turn it out onto the rack. Let cool until barely warm, about 45 minutes. Tips To make ahead: Store cooled bread, tightly wrapped, for up to 1 day at room temperature. If desired, warm (wrapped in foil) at 375°F before serving. Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. Two companies that distribute the flour nationally are King Arthur Flour (kingarthurflour.com) and Bob's Red Mill (bobsredmill.com).

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
