Ingredients

2 cups - whole wheat flour
1 cup - all purpose flour
½ cup - old fashioned rolled oats
½ tsp - baking soda
a pinch of salt
1 ¼ cups - buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large rimmed baking with parchment paper.
Whisk the flours, oats, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk, stirring to gently until incorporated. If the mixture looks dry, add the additional 1/4 cup stirring just until combined (do not over mix). The dough will be wet.
Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and form into a ball. Using a sharp knife, cut an "x" in the center of the dough about 1/2" deep, then sprinkle additional oats over the top if desired.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. Cool completely on a wire rack and enjoy!
