| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| 2 | Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and artificial sweetener. |
| 3 | Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, soymilk, and vinegar until well combined. |
| 4 | Incorporate Wet into Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the bread. |
| 5 | Prepare Loaf: Lightly oil a loaf pan or shape the dough into an oval loaf and place it on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. |
| 6 | Top with Oatmeal Flakes: Sprinkle oatmeal flakes over the top of the loaf for an extra crunch and visual appeal. |

| 8 | Test for Doneness: To ensure the bread is fully baked, test it with a knife. If the knife comes out clean, the bread is ready. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes and test again. |
| 9 | Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy the wholesome goodness of this oatmeal bread on its own or with your favorite spreads! |
