Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a smaller bowl, mix the milk and apple cider vinegar. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the milk mixture and stir until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or spoon. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but just combined.
If you're adding optional mix-ins like nuts, seeds, or dried fruit, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 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 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
