In a separate bowl, whisk oat flour, baking powder, turmeric, and cumin for mild flavor and texture.

Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake 30–35 minutes or until loaf is set and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool loaf in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely before slicing before serving.
