Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and whole wheat flour.
Add the instant yeast and salt, and stir to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the honey (or maple syrup), olive oil, and warm water until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment if using a mixer.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air, then shape it into a loaf by folding the edges under to create tension on the top surface.
Place the shaped dough into a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
If desired, sprinkle the top with additional oats for garnish.
Cover with a greased plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise again for 30-40 minutes, until it rises just above the rim of the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
