Description
A wholesome, fiber-rich oat and chia seed bread that’s gently sweet, hearty, and so simple to make. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a cozy side with soup.
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
¼ cup chia seeds
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5″ loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, chia seeds, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, olive oil or melted butter, and honey or maple syrup if using.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined.
5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra texture, fold in chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or dried cranberries.
Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and skipping the honey.
Store at room temp for 3 days, refrigerate for 5, or freeze up to 2 months.
