Berry, Lemon and Yoghurt Loaf made with oats, almonds, olive oil and yoghurt. Deliciously dense and slightly crumbly. Lemon, berries and honey give it lots of flavour, it’s perfect for breakfast or a snack! I developed this recipe for Bertolli Olive Oil.

Equipment
Loaf tin
Ingredients
2cupsalmond meal
1 and ½ cupsquick oats
½cuptapioca flour
3eggs
1lemon
1 and ½ cupsfrozen berries
½cuphoney
4tbspextra virgin olive oil
⅓cupGreek yoghurt
2tspvanilla extract
2tspbaking powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 160 and line a loaf tin with baking paper along base and sides.
Combine almond meal, oats, tapioca flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, olive oil, honey, yoghurt and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry mixtures. Add the zest and juice of the lemon and stir through. Fold in the frozen berries, saving a few for the top of the loaf.
Scoop the batter into the lined tin, smooth down and press remaining berries into the top. Allow the batter to sit for 15 minutes to allow oats to soak up some liquid before popping into the oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the top is a deep golden brown. The centre may feel slightly soft but will become more firm on cooling. Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing.
Notes
Dairy free? Use a thick coconut yoghurt e.g. Coyo brand instead of the Greek yoghurt.You can just use one type of berry e.g. blueberries instead of mixed berries, if you have a fave.Rice malt syrup, date syrup, maple syrup or coconut syrup can be used instead of honey. (Basically, some kind of liquid sweetener)I haven't tried them all, but cornflour, rice flour or even just plain flour can be used in substitution for the tapioca flour. I have tried plain GF flour and this worked for me. The closest substitution is cornflour but the other two options should still produce an OK result.I'm sorry, I have NOT tried to make this loaf without eggs! You could try a mashed banana + 2 flax eggs but I can't guarantee the result.
