📝 Ingredients

Base

  • 280 g rolled oats (regular oats, not instant)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 200–250 ml plain yogurt

  • 10 g baking powder

Texture & Flavor

  • 50 g pumpkin seeds

  • 50 g sunflower seeds

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

For Baking

  • Olive oil (for greasing the pan)

  • Extra rolled oats (for topping)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Lightly grease a loaf pan or small baking dish with olive oil.
You may line the base with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl:

  • Whisk the eggs until smooth.

  • Add the yogurt and mix until creamy and fully combined.

Step 3: Add Oats, Seeds, and Seasoning

Add to the bowl:

  • Rolled oats

  • Pumpkin seeds

  • Sunflower seeds

  • Baking powder

  • Salt and black pepper

Mix with a spoon or spatula until all oats are evenly coated.

Tip: Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb moisture and the texture improves.

Step 4: Transfer and Top

Pour the thick batter into the prepared pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle extra rolled oats over the surface for texture.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40–50 minutes, until:

  • The top is golden brown

  • The loaf feels firm when pressed

  • A knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean

Step 6: Cool

Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Cooling helps the loaf hold its shape and slice neatly.
