Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8 × 4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Into a large bowl, sift together the flours, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir in the nuts, sunflower seeds, oats, and bran. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and yogurt, then stir into the flour mixture just until combined.

    Step 2

    Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top with the back of the spoon. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds evenly over the top.

    Step 3

    Bake until golden on top and pulling away from the pan, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; immediately invert onto a wire rack to remove the pan. Reinvert; let cool completely before slicing.
