Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Smooth the top lightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 38-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve plain, with butter, or topped with your favorite jam or spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
