Molasses Oatmeal LoafInstructions
1
Mix the molasses and the buttermilk in a large bowl. Stir in the oats and then let soak for 30 minutes.
2
Preheat oven to 400 F.
3
In another bowl, mix the flours, baking soda and salt. Add the pieces of butter and rub in, using the tips of your fingers, until the mixture looks fine like crumbs.
4
Add the beaten egg and the mixture of soaked oats and mix well with a wooden spoon to make a fairly heavy dough. Scrape the mixture into the greased loaf pan and, with floured fingers, press it into a neat loaf shape.
5
Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 F and bake for a further 35 minutes.
6
Turn out the loaf onto a wire rack and let cool to room temperature before slicing.
7
Keep tightly wrapped and eat within 3 days, or toast. The loaf can be frozen for up to 1 month.
