Directions
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat two 9 x 5-inch pans with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, brown sugar and skim milk powder and stir until well blended.

Step 3

Add the nuts or sunflower seeds and yogurt and stir just to moisten the dry ingredients. The dough will be very thick and stiff.

Step 4

Spoon the batter into the loaf pans. Smooth the tops and sprinkle with the sesame and/or poppy seeds.

Step 5

Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean.
