Instructions
-
Prepare the Broccoli: Begin by steaming or boiling the broccoli until it’s soft. You can also steam it in the microwave for a quicker result. Once done, let it cool slightly, then place it in a food processor and pulse until it forms a coarse mixture.
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg powder, dried thyme, and freshly chopped coriander leaves. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites and hung curd (Greek yogurt) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the egg white and yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is well incorporated. Add the broccoli mixture to the bowl and combine thoroughly.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes. Grease a loaf tin with a bit of butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
-
Prepare the Loaf Tin: Transfer the broccoli and oats batter into the greased loaf tin, smoothing the top for an even bake.
-
Bake the Loaf: Place the loaf tin in the oven and bake for about 20-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm or at room temperature with your favorite healthy drink. For a nutritious breakfast, try pairing it with a Chickoo Banana Date Smoothie for the ultimate energizing start to your day.
