Infused with old-fashioned rolled oats soaked in buttermilk, this recipe creates a moist, tender crumb with a subtle nuttiness. Sweetened lightly with brown sugar and honey, and enriched with melted butter, this cornbread strikes the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Perfectly golden and slightly crisp on the edges, it bakes up beautifully in just 25 minutes. Serve it warm with a drizzle of honey, a pat of butter, or alongside your favorite soups and stews for a cozy, rustic meal. Packed with fiber and bursting with rustic charm, this easy-to-make cornbread will become a staple at your table.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and buttermilk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the melted cooled butter and honey until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients (egg mixture) and the oatmeal-buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cornbread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam for a rustic treat.
