Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
Place oats in a small heatproof bowl. Place water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour boiling water over oats. Set aside.
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix well.
Place butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set at high speed until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar gradually, beating constantly until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract.
Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in oats mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Cool in loaf pan for 10 minutes. Transfer bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

My Opinion
FYI, I originally found this recipe for a single loaf and found that it took a lot longer than 1 hour and by the time it was cooked through, it was starting to burn on top. I changed the recipe to 2 loaves, but I haven't adjusted the time yet.
