Author adapted from "Body & Soul Magazine"

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a loaf pan 8-1/2 inches by 4-1/2 inches with a butter flour spray.
  • Spread the oats in an even layer on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer to a food processor and pulse on and off until finely ground.
  • In a large bowl combine; ground and toasted oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon.
  • In a medium bowl combine; yogurt, oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
  • Add the yogurt egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Then gently fold in cranberries and ginger.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes. If bread starts to brown too quickly place a piece of tented foil over the pan. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes. Round a knife around the edge of the bread to loosen it before removing the bread from the loaf pan.
