Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf 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.
Slice and serve plain, or with your favorite low-fat spread or jam. Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
