Prepare Ingredients:
- In a small bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats and buttermilk. Allow them to sit and soak while you prepare the other ingredients.

Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, and oil until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Add Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.

Combine Batter:
