Ingredients

Makes approximately 8–10 rings

• 3 tbsp oat bran

• 2 tbsp plain fat-free yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp corn starch*
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
• Salt, to taste
• Dried thyme

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• Oat bran
• Wheat bran
• Corn starch
• Baking powder
• Sesame seeds
• Chia seeds
• Salt
• Herbs

Add the yogurt, eggs, and olive oil (if using), then mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.

Step 2: Rest the Dough

Let the mixture rest for 10–15 minutes.

This allows the bran to absorb moisture, making the dough easier to shape.

Step 3: Shape the Rings

With lightly damp hands, divide the dough into equal portions.

Roll each piece into a rope and join the ends to form a ring.

Place the rings on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at:

180°C (356°F)

for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these without wheat bran?

Yes, but the texture will be softer. You may replace it with additional oat bran, keeping your daily Dukan allowance in mind.

Are these crunchy?

Yes. They develop a crisp exterior while remaining slightly soft inside.

Can I use Greek yogurt?

Yes. Fat-free Greek yogurt works well and creates a richer texture.

Can I freeze them?

Absolutely. Cool completely before freezing in an airtight container.

Why should the dough rest?

Resting allows the bran to absorb liquid, making the rings easier to shape and improving the final texture.

Can I add cheese?
