Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ground flaxseed meal 200g
  • ½ cup whole flaxseeds 70g
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds 70g
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds 35g
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds 20g
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup olive oil 60ml
  • ½ cup water 120ml

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven and Prep Pan:

    Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat an 8x4 or 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or line with parchment.

  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients:

    In a large bowl, combine ground flaxseed meal, whole flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt by whisking.

  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients:

    In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with olive oil and water until uniform and lightly aerated.

  4. Fold Wet into Dry:

    Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until barely mixed; avoid overworking.

  5. Bake and Cool Loaf:

    Transfer batter to the prepared pan, level the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted yields mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
