How to Make Emerald Isle Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease three mini loaf pans (approximately 5x3 inches).
In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, grind 1 cup rolled oats until finely ground, leaving some larger pieces for added texture if desired.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 cup of the ground oats.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 large egg until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
