Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3
- Put the flours, sieved bread soda, salt and porridge oats into a large mixing bowl and combine well.
- In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, oil and treacle and add to the dry mixture.
- Next mix in the buttermilk and get the mix to a “sloppy” consistency.
- Pour into a greased 2lb loaf tin and smooth the top of the bread with a wet spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes and remove the bread from the tin, return to the oven inverted and bake for a further 15 minutes – this gives a lovely crust all the way around the loaf.
- Remove from the oven - to test that the loaf is cooked rap the bread with your knuckles – there should be a hollow sound to indicate it is cooked. Allow to cool.
- For added variety you can top the loaf before baking with a sprinkling of seeds or porridge oats.

This is the easiest, quickest and healthiest brown bread that I have ever made. I make mine with a handful of chopped walnuts through it and sprinkle mixed seeds on top. My family and friends love this bread and I have lost count of how many people I have given the recipe to. I suffer with IBS from time to time and I have to say since I have been eating this bread I have had no episode of IBS or bloating. Thanks Kevin. -

For the wholemeal bread, we recommend that the recipe if followed as is for perfect results everytime. Although the mixture can have a “sloppy” consistency, the texture and flavour of the bread will be perfect.

Best recipe for brown bread ever tasted. Just go with 500ml milk it works the best.
-
I tried many brown bread recipes and this is my favourite by far. I get so many compliments on this bread and so many people looking for the recipe. It is the 500ml of buttermilk that makes the difference. Seems like a lot but having tried using less I reverted back to 500mls and it gives a beautiful moist consistency.

No way this needs 500ml of buttermilk prob just 250
-
I absolutely love this recipe. The texture is so moist and it tastes amazing. I don't feel guilty eating either as it is good for me. I usually try to avoid bread but can't avoid this one. It's too good!
