Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Dark brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Molasses
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the oats and buttermilk. Set aside to soak for about 10 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and molasses until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.

Step 6

Stir the soaked oat mixture into the wet ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly combined.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
