Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool further or serve warm.
Slice into squares and enjoy your Sweet Oat Cornbread as a side dish, a snack, or even with a drizzle of honey!
