Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
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.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
