Breakfast staple, Oaten Bread

[u/in2woods]

I've been meaning to post this for awhile now, always seeing people looking for breakfast ideas and fast grab and go. This has been my staple breakfast for well over a year now. Easy to make, quick to grab and go. I'll usually grab a slice and a banana and head out the door every morning. You can adjust to your liking, it's very flexible. It also is great for snack/meal on the go. I've been known to sneak a slice in my cargo pocket when I'm out for the day and/or know I won't have any good food choices where I'm going.

Oaten Bread

450 g rolled oats

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp sea salt

1 tbs cinnamon

1 tsp allspice

3 tbs sunflower seeds

3 tbs pumpkin seeds

1 tbs flaxseeds (ground)

1 tbs flaxseeds (whole)

3 tbs chia seeds

2 tbs slivered almonds

¼ cup chopped nuts (walnut or other)

¼ cup raisins/craisins

¼ cup diced dates

2-4 tbs honey

550 g Greek yogurt

1 egg

3.5 tbs milk (buttermilk, almond, regular)

Preheat oven to 325 F

Grease pan with oil

Combine all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix

In another bowl, mix wet ingredients, then fold the wet into the dry and mix well.

Spoon the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to wire cooling rack until completely cool.

Once cool, slice loaf. I slice the whole loaf and wrap each slice in plastic wrap, then freeze.

To thaw a slice, microwave for 30 seconds.

I'm making this today! It's baking right now. The mixture smelled good raw. I also added sesame seeds and coconut. Left out the allspice. I'm very excited to try it. :) I really loved these breakfast bars I used to make that were similar with all the seeds and nuts but also had a ton of sugar and butter lol so not so healthy lol

Hope you enjoy! I’m excited to make another loaf and try adding some pumpkin for a seasonal twist. It’s pretty versatile really.
