Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Molasses
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a dry skillet, toast the rolled oats over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, toasted oats, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the molasses, egg, and milk into the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until no streaks of flour remain, but avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the gingerbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or paired with a dollop of whipped cream.
