Eggless whole wheat and oatmeal quick bread

This is the second time I am attempting a bread at home. My previous honey-oats bread was quite a tedious process with lots of kneading and a long fermentation time but this time I have tried a very easy version (easiest I should say!) of it which does not need any fermentation and absolutely no kneading at all!! and guess what.. the entire process of preparation and baking got over within an hour! When such a healthy bread can be made so easily at home, I would really think twice before buying a loaf in the market the next time :) Enjoy this healthy bread with any spread of your choice or you could even toast it or make a sandwich!
