Ingredients for Oat Bread
3 large eggs
1 cup rolled oats (90g / 3.2 oz)
100ml water (3.4 fl oz / ½ cup)
2 medium apples, peeled and chopped (300g / 10.6 oz)
Juice of ½ lemon (30ml / 2 tbsp)
1 teaspoon honey (7g / 1 tsp)
60g raisins (2.1 oz / ⅓ cup)
1 teaspoon baking powder (4g / 1 tsp)
Ingredients for Sweet Yogurt Topping
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream (45g / 3 tbsp)
1 tablespoon honey (15g / 1 tbsp)
30g dried apricots, finely chopped (1 oz / 3 tbsp)
30g almonds, ground (1 oz / 3 tbsp)
Instructions
Prepare the oat base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the 3 eggs thoroughly. Add the rolled oats and mix well to combine. Pour in the water, stir, then cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
Cook the apples: Place the chopped apples in a small saucepan with a splash of water. Add the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 8-10 minutes until the apples are soft and tender.
Create apple puree: Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend the cooked apples until you have a smooth applesauce consistency. Allow to cool slightly.
Combine wet ingredients: Add the apple puree to the soaked oats mixture and stir well. Mix in the honey until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Prepare the raisins: Rinse the raisins under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
Final mixing: Add the dried raisins and baking powder to the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and the baking powder is well incorporated.
Bake the bread: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter, smoothing the top. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Make the topping: While the bread bakes, prepare the sweet yogurt sauce. Rinse and dry the dried apricots, then chop them finely. Grind the almonds until they form a coarse powder. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, chopped apricots, and ground almonds until well combined.
Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Serve slices with a dollop of the sweet yogurt topping.
