Given the choice and how little they differ in taste, the oat bread is definitely more beneficial than the wheat based bread. Specially if you are watching your body fat. It will also help raise your protein intake (good for building muscles and aiding repair) and lowering carb intake.
The protein network in commercial oat breads is often fortified with added gluten. Thus, most of the currently available oat breads are inappropriate for patients with celiac disease.

Another inquiry we ran across in our research was “Can I use oat flour instead of yeast in bread?”.
If you are making a “quick bread” recipe which isn’t risen with yeast, you could try using all oat flour if you wish (though instead of going whole hog all at once, you are probably better to make the recipe with a bit more oat flour each time to see how it does.).
Since oat flour doesn’t contain gluten, you will need to adjust your ingredients to make your baked items light and fluffy. When making recipes that require yeast, you will need to add more yeast if you use oat flour than when you use wheat flour.
This begs the inquiry “Can You Make your own oat flour?”
