You don’t need a bowl to get oats into your diet. Rolled, steel-cut, and even quick-cooking oats are all whole grains, and if processed properly, they’re naturally gluten-free. This crunchy, nutty, oat-packed loaf can be sliced for breakfast on the go, toasted and topped with yogurt or cream cheese, or eaten in place of an energy bar. One tip that we can’t stress enough: Pack the mixture as tightly as possible into the loaf pan. This is essential for the slices to hold together when cut.
