Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a bit of oil or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, mixing well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined.
Fold in the dried mixed fruits and chopped nuts. Gradually add the milk while continuing to fold the mixture, ensuring not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as a hearty snack or alongside your favorite breakfast spread.
