Flahavan’s have created some tasty recipes that are perfect for everyone to enjoy.
Servings: 1 loaf (about 12 slices)
Ingredients:
- Sunflower oil, for greasing
- 500g natural yoghurt
- 100ml milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds, plus extra for sprinkling
- 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 200g porridge oats
- 200g Oat Bran
- 70g Cooked Irish Ham
- 70g Vintage Irish Cheddar
- 100g Savoy Cabbage, shredded
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a 1 lb loaf tin with parchment paper, then grease again.
- In a large bowl, combine the Oat Bran, Oats, yoghurt, milk, olive oil, seeds, and bicarbonate of soda. Mix everything until well blended. Chop up the ham, cheese and cabbage into small bitesized pieces and mix into the oatbran batter.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf tin, spreading the top level. Scatter a handful of seeds on top. Bake for 45 minutes or until the loaf turns golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the tin and place it back in the oven, directly on the shelf, for another 5 minutes to dry out the crust. Serve warm with butter, if desired.
Tip – slice and freeze the bread , then 1 slice can be popped in the toaster for a quick breakfast on the go!
