Instructions
Preparing the Oat Flour
- Blend Oats: Start by placing the oat flakes in a mixer or food processor. Add the yeast and a pinch of salt. Blend until you obtain a fine flour-like consistency. Transfer the oat flour into a large bowl.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
- Beat Eggs: In a separate container, break the eggs and beat them with a whisk by hand.
- Add Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the beaten eggs and mix well to combine the ingredients.
- Incorporate Olive Oil: Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
Combining Ingredients
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the wet mixture into the oat flour. Mix with a spatula until you obtain a mixture with a grainy and homogeneous consistency.
Preparing the Baking Mold
- Line the Mold: Line a square glass mold with parchment paper. This will prevent the bread from sticking and make it easier to remove after baking.
Assembling the Bread
- Fill the Mold: Distribute the bread mixture evenly in the prepared mold.
- Garnish: Garnish the surface with a handful of sesame seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. This adds extra texture and flavor to the bread.
Baking
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake: Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
- Cool and Slice: Once finished, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the mold for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut it into slices.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your healthy, flourless, sugarless oatmeal and Greek yogurt bread.
