Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 0.25 cups honey
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large egg

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Smooth the top lightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 38-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Slice and serve plain, with butter, or topped with your favorite jam or spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
