Start by chopping the dried apricots into small pieces and set them aside along with the raisins.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, instant dry yeast, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In another bowl, whisk the warm water and honey together until the honey is dissolved.
Stir the non-fat Greek yogurt into the water and honey mixture until evenly combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Fold the chopped apricots, raisins, chopped walnuts, and sunflower seeds into the dough. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Return the dough to a clean, lightly greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (392Β°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough gently to remove excess air and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round bun and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Beat the egg and brush the top of each bun lightly with the egg wash to give them a nice sheen when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
