Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free whole grain flour blend, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, warm water, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup until thoroughly mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form.
Add the sunflower seeds and chia seeds to the dough and knead gently with your hands until the seeds are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the dough to settle.
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
