Flourless Oat and Chia Bread

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (or pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/4 cup flaxseed meal (or whole flaxseeds)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the oats, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, oil, and honey/maple syrup.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until fully combined. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the chia seeds and oats to absorb moisture.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and enjoy! This bread is perfect toasted with nut butter, avocado, or just on its own.
