Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Stir and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange zest, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix together until fragrant and well-combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and orange juice to the sugar mixture, and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir the hydrated oats into the wet mixture, ensuring the oats are evenly distributed.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

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