In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseeds and 45 milliliters of water. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to create a flax egg.
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, maple syrup, and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating that the yeast is active.
Add olive oil, the prepared flax egg, salt, and rolled oats into the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix whole wheat flour with baking powder. Gradually add this flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly oil a loaf pan.
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan.
Let the loaf rise for another 20 minutes, uncovered, until it has risen slightly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
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.
