Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any dairy-free alternative)
1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave nectar)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (optional)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (optional)
1/4 cup dried fruits (like cranberries or raisins) (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the oats resemble a flour-like consistency.
Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients in the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
If using, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and dried fruits evenly over the top of the batter.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
