Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and buttermilk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the melted cooled butter and honey until well combined.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients (egg mixture) and the oatmeal-buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cornbread dense.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam for a rustic treat.
