Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
2 tbsp flaxseeds (ground)
1/4 cup protein powder (whey, pea, or your preferred variety)
1 tsp baking powder (ensure it’s aluminum-free)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
1/2 cup water (adjust for desired batter consistency)
2 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Directions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a large jar or use parchment paper to line the sides of a glass jar that has a capacity of at least 2 cups.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats (or oat flour), whole wheat flour, almond flour, protein powder, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully mixed.
Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, honey, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined. The batter should have a thick, dough-like consistency but should not be overly dry.
Transfer to Jar: Spoon the bread batter into your prepared jar, filling it about halfway. Remember, this bread doesn’t rise like traditional bread due to the lack of yeast, so no need to worry about overfilling.
Bake: Place the jar in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you’re using a larger jar, you may need to bake it slightly longer.
Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the jar for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Presentation and Storage Tips:
Serving Suggestions: This bread can be served as a snack, breakfast, or a side to soups and salads. Top it with avocado, nut butter, or your favorite spread for an added treat.
Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days at room temperature, or keep it in the fridge for longer freshness. It can also be sliced and frozen for up to 3 months—perfect for meal prepping!
