Ingredients

Scale

250g rolled oats
150g coarse wholemeal flour (I use Odlums)
2 tsp sea salt flakes
1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 tbsp pepitas
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp sunflower seeds
100g dried figs
600g Greek yogurt
1 egg
2 tbsp honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pop aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, give them a good mix to break up any lumps and aerate the ingredients.
Roughly chop up the figs and add to the dry ingredients. Mix through.
In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, egg, and honey. Using a fork, give it a quick mix.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the bowl. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix all the ingredients together until they are just combined, but no more. It should be a wet and sticky dough, unlike a traditional bread dough.
Place the dough into the greased loaf pan. Using a spoon dunked in water, smooth out the top of the loaf. With a sharp knife, make a cut on the top of the dough down the center of the loaf.
Pop the bread into the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown on top.
Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to let the bread cool. Slice and serve!

Notes

To save time in the morning, prep steps 1-3. Cover the bowl and set aside til the next morning, then continue the steps.

Once the loaf has been removed from the oven, leave it to cool and then turn out onto a wire rack. Don’t be tempted to cut it for at least 30 minutes, as it won’t hold together and the inside will just crumble. Leave to cool and then slice it with a bread knife.
