Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup rolled oats
  2. 1 cup milk
  3. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  4. 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  5. 1 large egg
  6. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  7. 1 tsp baking powder
  8. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  9. 1/2 tsp salt
  10. 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats and 1 cup of milk. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the milk and soften.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 large egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. After the oats have soaked, add the oat and milk mixture to the sugar and oil mixture. Stir until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of baking soda, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  7. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Slice and serve your delicious oatmeal chocolate chip quick bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips

  1. Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and better incorporation of ingredients.
  2. Don't overmix the batter—mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
  3. For extra flavor, try using dark brown sugar or adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Check your bread's doneness by inserting a toothpick—a few moist crumbs are perfect, but no wet batter.
  5. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
  6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
  7. For a healthier version, try using whole wheat flour or adding nuts like chopped walnuts.
