Green Yogurt Loaf

This recipe is packed with greens which gives it a definite savoury feel, but it pairs beautifully with just about any bread topping, soup or salad. The greens are a rich source of folate and magnesium and are a great way of topping up our diet. This bread can be made without Psyllium husk which makes it an easy loaf to make without specialist ingredient. I prefer using Greek yogurt to cottage cheese as I think it has a nicer texture, but you can sub the yogurt for cottage cheese if you prefer. Another tip is to blend the cottage cheese before combining with the other ingredients for a softer texture.

Ingredients

100g broccoli

100g kale

100g baby spinach

200g rolled oats (gluten-free or regular)

300g Greek yogurt

50g whole flaxseeds

50g chia seeds

75g sunflower seeds

75g pumpkin seeds

50g sesame seeds

2 eggs

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon dried herbs (I used thyme and oregano)

50g grated Parmesan (optional)

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Cut the broccoli into florets and roughly chop the kale. Add to a food processor and process until very finely chopped. Add the spinach and process again. The mixture should still have some texture but should also be quite smooth and wet.
  2. Next, mix all the ingredients together. There is no need for a food processor, but make sure it is well combined.
  3. Form it into a loaf shape with wet hands on a baking tray with some baking parchment, pressing it firmly together.
  4. Bake for 60-70 mins until cooked through.
  5. Test with a skewer to see if it comes out clean. Allow to cool in the oven once turned off.

Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Suitable for freezing. Slice before freezing, separating slices if required with small pieces of baking parchment.
