Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (120g) whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup (80ml) honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup (30g) raisins or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (90g) of rolled oats with 1 cup (240ml) of milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soften.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) of all-purpose flour, 1 cup (120g) of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In the bowl with the soaked oats, add 1/4 cup (60g) of softened unsalted butter, 1/3 cup (80ml) of honey, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix just until combined—avoid overmixing.
- If desired, fold in 1/4 cup (30g) of raisins or chopped nuts.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
