I love fruit and oatmeal together. How about you? Can I interest you in a slice of Blueberry Currant Oatmeal Bread?
Why put dried wild blueberries and currants in an oatmeal lovers bread?
Because it’s time for this month’s Bread Bakers!
July Bread Bakers Challenge: Your bread can be sweet or savory but it’s got to have oats! Oats of any kind: rolled, flour, steel cut, quick cooking, etc.
#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
This month our wonderful Bread Bakers host for Our Oatmeal Event is Rocio from Kids and Chic ! Thanks Rocio!
