How to Make Flourless Oat, Chia & Flaxseed Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl combine:

  • Rolled oats
  • Chia seeds
  • Ground flaxseed
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Whisk together:

  • Eggs
  • Greek yogurt
  • Olive oil
  • Honey

until smooth.

Step 4: Combine

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Stir until fully combined.

Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes so the chia and flax can absorb moisture.

Fold in sunflower seeds if using.

Step 5: Bake

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top.

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
