Complete Cooking Instructions:

List of items needed:

1 cup of oats

1 glass of lukewarm water (about 200-250 ml)

Half of a pumpkin, approximately 400 grams, with the skin removed.

1 spoon of sweetener (if desired)

1 small spoon of cinnamon (if desired)

A little bit of salt

3 tablespoons of vegetable oil (you can choose not to use it).

1 tablespoon of sesame seeds

5-6 dried apricots, washed and soaked in hot water.

1 tablespoon of chia seeds

1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped nuts like walnuts, almonds, or pecans.

2 tablespoons of a mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits

1 small spoon of baking powder

Paper for baking cookies

Instructions:

Get the oats ready.

Mix the oats with warm water in a bowl. Leave it for 10 minutes so the oats can soak up the water and expand.

Get the pumpkin ready.

Peel and shred half of a pumpkin, which should weigh around 400g. Put aside.

Mix the ingredients together.

After the oats have soaked up the water, mix in the shredded pumpkin, sweetener (if desired), cinnamon, salt, vegetable oil, and sesame seeds. Stir thoroughly.

Get the dried apricots ready:

After putting the dried apricots in hot water for a short time, remove the water and cut them into small pieces. Put the apricots in the mix with chia seeds, chopped nuts, and a combination of seeds, nuts, and dried fruits.

Include baking powder.

Mix the baking powder into the mixture and stir until everything is well mixed.

Make the bread.

Cover the baking dish with parchment paper and dampen it a little with warm water. Pour the mix into the baking dish that has been prepared. Even out the surface using a spatula.

Cook in the oven.

Heat the oven to 180°C (360°F) and bake the bread for around 20 minutes until it is golden brown and fully cooked.

Chill and Serve:

After baking, take the bread out of the oven and allow it to cool. Cut it and add your preferred toppings or eat it as it is!
