Yield: Makes 12 muffins or 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup coarse bran
  • 1 tablespoon bicarbonate soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup pine Kernels
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, cut into small pieces
  • 2 cups Greek non-fat yogurt
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

Instructions

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt and the maple syrup or honey. Make a well in the middle of the flour mix and fold in the yogurt mix with a metal spoon. Do not over mix!

2. Scoop into a greased 4 x 9-inch bread pan and bake at 350° F for 45 – 50 minutes. Use a skewer to check doneness; it should come out clean.

3. Remove the bread or muffins from the baking pan and let rest on a wire rack. Cover with a clean dishcloth until cool.

4. Serve with a selection of cheeses, jams or even peanut butter.
