This is one of Mary Flahavan’s signature recipes – enjoy!

Serves Makes 1 loaf|Takes 60 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

1 large tub (500ml) of natural yogurt
1 beaten egg
1 tbsp. treacle (optional)
300g (12oz) Flahavan’s Progress Oatlets (or Flahavan’s Gluten Free Oats)
2 tsp bread soda
2 tbsp. mixed seeds (optional)
½ tsp salt (optional)

METHOD:

Place the yoghurt, beaten egg and treacle in a bowl and stir well.
Mix the oats, bread soda, seeds and salt in a separate bowl, add to the yogurt mixture and stir thoroughly.
Place in a greased or parchment lined 2lb loaf tin, sprinkle with oats and bake at 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4 for 30 minutes.
Lower temperature to 150°C / 300°F / Gas mark 2 and cook for a further 30 minutes.

Mary’s Tip:
A sweeter version of this bread can be made by adding some dried fruits or you can use chopped sundried tomatoes and basil for a savoury version.
To prevent the treacle from sticking to the spoon, coat it with oil before use.

Place the dried cranberries into a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and set aside for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°c. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.
Add the yogurt, egg, milk and bicarbonate soda to a large mixing bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
Drain the cranberries and add them to the bowl of yogurt etc. along with the oats, pecans, honey and salt. Mix all the ingredients together well.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf tin. Place a couple of reserved pecans on top for decoration and cook for 45 minutes until golden (ovens may vary so do check before end of cooking with a skewer or toothpick to see if comes out clean – if it does it’s cooked).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Slice and serve with a topping of your choice15m
