This homemade whole wheat quick bread is just as good as any loaf from your favorite bakery.  Coated with a mixture of seeds and nuts, the bread itself has rolled oats right in the whole wheat batter, as well as buttermilk for texture, and a touch of maple syrup for a slightly sweet finish.

I used a mixture of chia seeds, sesame seeds, pine nuts and flax seeds in my bread, but feel free to experiment with your favorite combination of nuts and seeds—pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds and/or sunflower seeds are recommended.  Slice and serve either with some roasted garlic cloves at dinner, or with your favorite jam or sliced avocado for a nutritious breakfast idea.
