She ended up making four loaves. We are eating the blackened one.

I’ll ask her if she saved the recipe but she quit sourdough not long after this. It’s easy enough to start again.

Here is the loaf I made back in 2016. It uses very little sugar. I have no picture as it was on photo bucket.
Here is an oat soda bread I made a few years ago, it was a hit, never made it again and won't tomorrow either. Once I'm back on my feet and can handle spending more time in the kitchen it's on my to make list. I can't remember making the oat flour or if I found some, though. The gal i got this recipe from was one of the first food blogs I followed on twitter, her young husband passed away, unexpectedly, from a MI and couldn't follower her anymore due to her so sad posts. Anyway, this is her recipe.
Oat Soda Bread
7 ounces oat flour
10 ounces all purpose flour, plus more for dusting and sprinkling
1 teaspoon (4 grams) granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons (12 grams) baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons (6 grams) fleur de sel
2 cups (450 ml) plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
Arrange rack in center of oven. Preheat to 400ºF.
Add flours, sugar, baking soda and salt to a deep bowl. Whisk together to mix well. Pour in 2 cups of buttermilk and stir using a wooden spoon until just combined.
Lightly flour a clean countertop or large cutting board. Dump dough onto surface and knead briefly, 30 to 60 seconds until it forms a relatively smooth ball. Place on a lightly floured rimmed baking sheet. Slightly flatten ball of dough.
Brush sides and top with remaining buttermilk. Sprinkle top with a generous amount of flour, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Using a very sharp knife, slash a deep "X" on the top of the loaf, making sure not to cut all the way through.
Bake for 25 minutes, then move tray to upper middle rack of oven and bake for 15 more minutes until it becomes a deep golden color and temperature registers 185ºF. It should sound hollow when tapped with your knuckle. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool for at least an hour before slicing.
