The Method
-
Grease a loaf tin with oil.

- Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and sprinkle the top with oats.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 ½ -2 hours until golden brown and well risen.
- The bread is ready when a metal skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Turn out of the loaf tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
