Using the same empty yogurt tub, measure 2 tubs of Porridge Oats and add to the bowl with the bicarbonate of soda and the salt Add in the seeds/nuts at this point if using. Stir thoroughly Pour the mixture into your loaf tin. Cut a line down the centre. You can sprinkle pumpkin, sunflower or poppy seeds on top. Place in the oven and cook for approx. 50-60 mins.
