Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper. This step is key for easy cleanup!
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole grain flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, if you're using it. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, milk, and vegetable oil until everything is well combined. The mixture should look smooth and inviting.
  4. Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Remember, overmixing can lead to a dense texture, so be gentle!
  5. Step 5: Fold in the chopped nuts or seeds and dried or fresh fruit, if you’re using them. This is where you can really personalize your recipe!
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. It’s going to rise, so don’t worry if it looks a bit flat.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The smell will be irresistible!
  8. Step 8: Allow to cool before slicing and serving. This is the hardest part, but trust me, it will be worth the wait!
