Ingredients
Scale
- 90 g oat flakes (use gluten-free if needed)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, chia, etc.)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flakes, salt, and baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add water to the dry mixture, a little at a time, until you get a dough-like consistency. Be sure not to add too much water—aim for a thick batter.
- Stir in the mixed seeds and make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a loaf pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the bread is firm to the touch.
- Once done, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the bread with additional ingredients such as dried fruit, nuts, or spices like cinnamon for a unique twist.
- To make the bread vegan, simply replace the water with plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
- Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
