Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whey protein isolate, whole wheat flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently. Pour in the milk and mix until incorporated. The batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread and serve as desired. Enjoy as is or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
