Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, quinoa flour, and amaranth flour.
Add chia seeds, sunflower seeds, baking powder, and salt to the flour mixture, and stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to allow the seeds to begin absorbing liquid.
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
