St. Patricks Day is on Sunday and a warm loaf of this oatmeal soda bread is the perfect way to celebrate!
Irish soda bread is a very traditional type of bread, but I love the addition of oats! It makes the bread slightly heartier and gives each slice a satisfying crunch. This bread is bread is perfect for breakfast slathered with jam and Irish butter, or great when dunked into a steamy bowl of stew.
If youve ever felt intimidated by the bread baking process in the past, this is the loaf for you! Theres no yeast involved, making it a great beginners loaf. And because theres no yeast, theres no need to wait on the bread to rise! Just mix up the ingredients in your bowl then transfer to the oven to bake. Easy as pie.
I hope everyone has a great St. Patricks Day!
