Ingredients:
300g oats
11/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 tblsp mixed seeds
500ml natural yoghurt
1 egg
1 tblsp honey
1 tblsp oil
Line a loaf tin with baking paper. Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl, and mic together the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until completely blended.
Place in loaf tin and sprinkle some extra seeds on top.
Bake at 180C for 25 minutes then lower the temperature to 150C and cook for a further 30 mins. Remove from oven and wrap in a clean tea towel. You will know when the bread is backed when you turn it out and it has a hollow sound when you knock on the base.
