Tips for a Perfect Oatmeal and Chia Bread
Ground oats: You can grind the oatmeal on flakes in a blender or food processor until you get a flour texture. You can also use ready-made oatmeal.
Chia seeds: Chia seeds provide texture and nutrients. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can grind them lightly before adding them.
Natural Yogurt: Natural yogurt is the best working on this recipe, but you can use Greek yogurt or even vegetable yogurt for a dairy-free version.
Mass consistency: The mass should be uniform but not too liquid. If you see that it is very dry, you can add a little more yogurt or a splash of milk.
Baking time: Each oven is different, so it is advisable to start checking the cooking from 35 minutes. The bread will be ready when the surface is golden and the toothpick is clean.
Full Cooled: Let the bread cool completely before unmolding and cutting so that it does not fall apart.
Variations: You can add sunflower seeds, chopped nuts or a handful of nuts to the dough to give it more texture and flavor.
