Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 2-3 tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled oatmeal breakfast cake and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
