Ingredients

• 200 grams whole wheat flour
• 50 grams oat flour
• 50 grams whey protein powder (unflavored)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 200 grams Greek yogurt
• 240 milliliters buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, salt, and ground flaxseed. Mix well to ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, buttermilk, honey, and egg until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the bread from becoming tough.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs well with savory spreads or toppings and is a wonderful accompaniment to soup or salad.
