Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsulphured molasses
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the molasses, buttermilk, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the rolled oats evenly over the top for a rustic finish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
