Oatmeal Buttermilk Quickbread

1 cup oatmeal
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix oatmeal with buttermilk and let stand for 30 minutes. Stir in oil, egg, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to oat mixture and mix well. Pour into greased/floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until done.


Comments: Well...this would have been great had I not dropped the loaf pan on the counter and caused the top to explode. What we did get to eat (the bottom half of the loaf) was very good. I threw some vanilla in to the mix, as well as a little bit of cinnamon and some raisins. Turned out like a typical quick bread---moist and soft. I think this would be good with dried cranberries and the like in it as well. Again, my oven was done early, and I pulled it when the top started to get too brown. A larger, flatter pan probably would have solved that problem.
