Ingredients

• 240 grams Whole wheat flour
• 75 grams Rolled oats
• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain)
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 60 ml Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan, then lightly dust it with flour and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Stir in the Greek yogurt until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients to ensure a smooth batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit, if desired.
