Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups rolled oats
  • 0.25 cup chia seeds Great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • 1.25 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda For leavening.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1.75 cups plain yogurt Can also use buttermilk.
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup For sweetness.
  • 1 egg (optional) For added richness.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds moisture and flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, chia seeds, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg if using, and olive oil until smooth and combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until moistened; avoid overmixing.
  • Let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture.

Baking

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. To keep it light, avoid overmixing.
