Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Oat flour
- 50 grams Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 200 grams Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 4 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, salt, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, Greek yogurt, and almond milk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the bread remains light and fluffy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds over the top, pressing them gently into the batter so they stick.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread into 10 equal pieces and enjoy as is or toast with your favorite toppings!
