Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well blended.
In another bowl, whisk together the molasses, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. If you’re using nuts or seeds, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 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.
Serve slices plain, with butter, or alongside your favorite soup or stew. Enjoy!
