Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams whole wheat flour
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 50 grams sunflower seeds
- 50 grams pumpkin seeds
- 50 grams hazelnuts, chopped
- 50 grams walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseeds, ground
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250 milliliters skimmed milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with a small amount of olive oil or use baking paper lining.
In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chopped hazelnuts, chopped walnuts, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, skimmed milk, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve! Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Nutty Seed Bread plain, or topped with your favorite heart-healthy spreads.
