Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup sunflower seeds

- ¼ cup flaxseeds (whole or ground)
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (helps bind the bread)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- ⅓ cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
- ½ cup water or unsweetened almond milk
- Optional: herbs or spices like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder for flavor
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a loaf pan (8×4 inch or similar) with parchment paper or grease it lightly with oil.
Step 2: Toast the Seeds (Optional but Recommended)
- Toast sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and flaxseeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly until fragrant.
- This enhances flavor and crunch but skip if short on time.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the seeds, psyllium husk powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix thoroughly so that the psyllium husk and baking soda are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs well.
- Add olive oil and water (or almond milk) to the eggs, mixing until combined.
