Makes: 1 Loaf / Total time: 45 minutes / Prep time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 4 tbsp ground psyllium husks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cups water
Directions
- Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well until everything is well combined.
- Pour mixture into a silicone loaf tin and compress really well with the back of a spoon: NB- this is really important to form a solid loaf.
- Leave on the counter for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge. This allows the psyllium husks to absorb the moisture and hold everything together.
- Pre heat the oven to 175°C and then place the loaf tin into the oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes take the loaf out of the oven and remove it from its tin.
- Place the loaf back in the oven on a rack for a further 20 minutes. NB- cooking times depend a little on oven efficiency.
- Remove from the oven when the loaf starts to colour, and allow to cool before slicing. It will crumble a little if you slice it whilst warm, but it’s hard to resist 🙂
- I love this loaf with honey and peanut butter but it’s also fantastic with avocado and tomato with a drizzle of olive oil.
- I store the loaf in the fridge for up to 5 days, if it lasts that long! It can also be toasted.
