Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 F and line your loaf tin with some greased or parchment paper.
Whisk all your dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer, then add in your softened butter and mix on a low speed.
Once mixed, add in your wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Use a spatula to make sure the mix is incorporated properly.
Add your batter into your loaf tin and sprinkle the top with oats. The mix will be runny but that is perfectly normal.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. If needed, you can bake for up to an hour. The mix is quite runny, and you want to make sure that it is cooked the whole way through.
