Vegan, Gluten Free Bread

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup ground flax seeds
  • ½ cup hazelnuts or almonds
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free oats
  • 2 Tbsp. chia seeds
  • 4 Tbsp. psyllium seed husks
  • 1 tsp. fine grain sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup (for sugar-free diets, use a pinch of stevia)
  • 3 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
  • 1 ½ cups water
 Method:

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Melt the coconut oil and combine with the maple syrup and water. Add to dry ingredients and mix well. The ‘dough’ should be moist but not sloppy.

Transfer the dough to the greased/lined pan and firmly press into the pan making sure it’s in all four corners.  Now we let it sit.  The chia seeds and psyllium husks will absorb the water and bind everything together. But this takes a bit of time. For at least two hours if possible, or up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.

Bake the bread for 20 minutes.  Remove from oven and carefully remove the bread from the pan. Either cook upside down directly on the rack or on a cookie sheet for an additional 40 minutes.

You’ll know it’s ready when you tap the bread and it sounds hollow.

Let cool entirely before cutting.  The bread will firm up and cut into magnificent slices!
