Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts (if using).

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
