Hearty Flourless Oatmeal Bread

A wholesome, gluten-free loaf packed with seeds and protein, perfect for any meal of the day.



Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds

  • 1½ cups plain kefir (or substitute with Greek yogurt)

  • 2 medium eggs

  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar


Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare the oats: Place the rolled oats in a food processor or blender and pulse until they reach a coarse flour consistency.

  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, salt, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Stir until well mixed.

  4. Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the kefir, eggs, and apple cider vinegar. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.

  5. Combine: Stir the wet and dry ingredients together until a thick batter forms. Ensure all components are well incorporated.

  6. Transfer to pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
