  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (10–12 slices)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour (or sub all-purpose)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Sugars

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all chai spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg) until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Incorporate Dry Into Wet: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add Optional Mix-ins: Stir in nuts or raisins if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top for even baking.
  7. Bake Bread: Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, signaling that the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Cool Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra texture and a decorative touch, sprinkle oats and cinnamon sugar on top of the batter before baking.
  • Store the bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
