Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan (approximately 8x4 inches) with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sunflower seed flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and psyllium husk powder until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Then add the almond milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar, whisking until the liquid ingredients are fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing well with a spatula or hand mixer until a thick dough forms.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds evenly over the top, gently pressing them into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
