Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4. Grease a standard loaf tin (2lbs/900g - 18.5cm x 11.5cm x 9cm) using butter or simply use parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl combine the Glenisk yogurt, egg, milk and bicarbonate of soda.
Stir in the oats, salt and cup of mixed nuts and seeds (if you so wish).
Ensure all ingredients are well blended into a doughy texture and then transfer mixture to loaf tin.
Cut a line down the centre of your loaf and sprinkle with a few nuts and seeds.
Place in the oven and cook for 45-55 minutes (depending on your oven).
Remove loaf from tin. Return to oven upside down and allow loaf to cook for 5 minutes more to make loaf crispy.
Insert skewer to ensure that inside of loaf is cooked before removing from oven and then leave to cool on a wire tray.
After it has cool enjoy it with your favourite spread.
