In a large bowl, stir together yeast and 1/2 cup of the warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes to dissolve and activate the yeast.
Stir in remaining water, honey, oil, salt and quick oats. Add whole wheat and all-purpose flour, to form a soft dough.
Turn out onto an oat-floured surface and knead until dough is smooth, adding additional flour, if required. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and let rest, covered for 30 minutes.
Divide rested dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a round bun and flatten slightly.
Place buns on a parchment-lined baking tray, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of each bun with egg wash and sprinkle each with a few oats.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
