Bread Machine Oatmeal Breakfast Bread is a convenient and hearty cinnamon bread that makes wonderful toast or french bread.

Have you noticed my love of my bread machine yet? I’ve made Garlic Bread, Coconut Bread, and use it to mix up the dough for Herb Bubble Bread. I like to make bread to eat as toast or use in french toast instead of using the store bought stuff. It’s really helped us to cut back on costs.

The bread we like I but for $2 a loaf generally. That’s a lot of money for bread! Especially when my kids have toast and sandwiches every day! We have been known to go through 3-4 loaves in a week. That’s money I could be spending on meat. Using my bread machine means that I can make a loaf or 2 a week without much extra effort. When I do make my own bread we only go through bread for sandwiches for lunches on the go. We can make a store bought loaf of bread last for over a week.

Plus it is a lifesaver when we are going to be gone all day but will be home in time for dinner. I’ll make dinner in the crock pot, bread in the bread maker, and sometimes even a side dish in another crock pot. Add fruit and some microwaved frozen veggies and you have a complete meal within half an hour of coming home. To me that is way better than spending $40 or more on eating out!

It’s also perfect if you are not a confident baker. Baking has not been my strong suit so the bread machine has been a big life saver. Have I convinced you yet?

I do realize the initial cost of a bread machine can be high so look around on yard sale pages or thrift stores. Or you could even ask if someone has one that they don’t want anymore. You never know. I got my first bread machine for $20. We used that sucker till it died 4 years later. The one I have now is from a friend who didn’t want there’s anymore because she liked to make bread herself. This bread machine (*affiliate link*) has great reviews and is currently on sale off Amazon .

    eek, total fail. I don’t know where the problem is/was but the bread is ugly and not edible 🙁 I had all the ingredients and I thought it would be fun to have a nice sweet bread warm from the machine. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out as expected.

      Hi Naomi, I am so sorry you had a hard time with the bread. I have found that sometimes breadmaker bread making can be challenging.

      It sounds like the dough might have been too dry and so not everything mixed together properly. The humidity levels in your home can affect how much water is needed. When I make bread in Arizona my dough needs more water, when I made it in Georgia it didn’t need as much. Next time you can add a tablespoon of water at a time if it seems to dry when it first starts mixing in your breadmaker. The dough should form a ball that cleans the sides of the pan.

      Hopefully these tips help you and you can try again.

      Good luck!

    Also, my son asked where the raisins were. It would taste great with raisins.

      I agree it would taste great with raisins. My family is not big on raisins so I usually leave them out.

    Made this bread last night it was so nice to wake up too! It is definitely a keeper. And I can confirm that it does make great french toast. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I need a good bread knife now.

    I made this recipe today as we were out of bread and I was too lazy to go to the store. I recently bought a Zoriushi bread maker and I have been making lots of bread. This recipe by far is the best bread I have made so far. I used local honey instead of the maple syrup and it is to die for. Thank you so much for this amazingly wonderful recipe. I can’t wait for toast tomorrow morning.

    My Hubby bought me a West Bend bread maker from Walmart and I have used it more often then when I had my old one. Mine even has a setting for making jam which is so simple. I love oatmeal so I am going to try this recipe tomorrow.

      Mine also has a setting to make jam but I’ve never used it. I guess I was kind of afraid to. Do you have a recipe for making jam? I love my bread maker. It seriously is such a lifesaver!

    I make homemade bread at least once a week and the flavor is superior (not to mention the nutrients.) Your version looks quite tasty!

      I’m with you Christie. There are few things in life as good as the smell of fresh made bread. Maybe right behind fresh made cookies!

    That sounds great! We haven’t had a bread machine in years…the last one we had vibrated right off the counter and broke. It’s quite possible it may have had help from a furry family member. At any rate, we’ve been without one ever since. I’m sure I could adapt this though!

      Oh I’m sure you could adapt it Michelle. I do make bread from scratch as well but it’s nice to be able to come home to the smell of fresh made bread when we have been gone all day.

    This recipe just made me post on Facebook to see if any of my friends have a bread maker they don’t want anymore 🙂 🙂 🙂
    If they do, I’m going to make this first thing when I get one 🙂
