Bread machine honey oat bread is soft, moist, and lightly sweet thanks to oats and a touch of honey. It slices beautifully, uses just 8 simple ingredients, and is an easy everyday loaf you’ll make again and again.
This Bread Machine Honey Oat Bread is one of my favorite “everyday” homemade breads. It’s made with just eight simple ingredients, and the bread machine handles all the heavy lifting — mixing, kneading, and rising — so you get a soft, tender loaf with minimal effort.
The oats give the bread a bit of heartiness, while the honey adds a light sweetness that makes this loaf perfect for sandwiches, toast, or snacking. It slices beautifully, stays soft for days, and is a fantastic recipe to keep in your regular rotation.

Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Milk: I use the milk that I have at the time, which is usually 2%. You could also use dairy-free milk like almond milk.
- Oil: I use olive oil when I make this bread, but a similar neutral oil will also work.
- Flour: To properly measure the flour, weigh it or sift/stir to break it up, lightly spoon into a measuring cup, and level. This will avoid packing the flour.
