Gluten-Free Vegan Seeded Oat Bread

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, flax seed meal, chia seeds, black sesame seeds, salt, and baking powder. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (or date paste), applesauce, and almond milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the oats and seeds. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so that the flax and chia can absorb some of the liquid. In the meantime, line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into your pre-lined loaf pan. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan. Then, tap the pan a few times on the counter to get rid of any bubbles. Sprinkle the extra oats on the top of the loaf. Press down gently into the top of the loaf.

Step 5

Place the loaf in the oven and bake 60-65 minutes. It should be golden brown on the edges, and a toothpick should be inserted and cleanly removed.

Step 6

Remove the bread from the oven. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Let cool completely before slicing.

Step 7

Slice and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
