Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams Pumpkin seeds
- 50 grams Sunflower seeds
- 30 grams Flaxseeds
- 20 grams Chia seeds
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 200 grams Greek yogurt
- 50 ml Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 100 ml Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds to the flour mixture, and stir until the seeds are evenly distributed throughout.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy. Stir in Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, and water until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra pumpkin seeds on top for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain or with your favorite spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
