  • 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

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 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/pecans) or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
  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 the chai spices — cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. This blend creates the flavorful base for your bread.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), eggs, milk (or alternative), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and moist.
  5. Add Optional Ingredients: Stir in chopped nuts or raisins if using, to add texture and variety to the loaf.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake the bread for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
  8. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

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.
  • This bread freezes well and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
