I have many readers who are gluten-free either they have an intolerance or another member of their family does and one thing that is really hard to find is a gluten-free bread, not to mention that usually, the ones that do are pretty expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, you will be pleased to know I have this great recipe for Gluten Free Soda Bread that uses oats, is pretty inexpensive and easy to make,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For blitzing the oats. I use my awesome Ninja Duo Blender with Auto IQ technology<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that you can see below. It is a super clever blender that features intelligent programs that combine pulsing and blending patterns, meaning no having to guess how long to pulse or blend etc. It's amazing. I blend the oats for this using the Nutri Ninja Cup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To bake the bread I use a 7-inch springform pan<\/a><\/strong><\/span> lined with parchment paper, it gives a perfectly round loaf, just like the traditional soda bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly let me say this isn't going to be like normal whole wheat bread and it doesn't rise really high like traditional bread, because oats are pretty dense. But it really is like Irish Soda bread and is lovely a filling and a great bread to serve alongside soups, stews, casseroles etc or even eggs for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about this Gluten Free Soda Bread is that the kids will love it too, my kids will easily devour a good few slices of this with some soup or stew and I feel confident knowing it has good natural ingredients and nothing artificial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It freezes perfectly also, so if you don't want to be tempted to eat more than your allowance, add the remaining slices to a freezer bag and pop in the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course for this to truly be gluten-free, you must make sure the oats you use are gluten-free verified. If it doesn't state clearly on the bag that they are gluten-free, the chances are that they are not. Oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat\/gluten, so it is worth bearing that in mind when you buy your bag of oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also change the texture of the bread slightly and make it a softer bake, by adding 1 additional teaspoon of baking powder, it tastes less like soda bread if you do this, so if you are not as much a fan of soda bread than those of us with Irish roots, that might be the preferred option for you when baking this loaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
