Life Changing Loaf of Bread
Genius in a loaf pan. Easily customizable and full of yummy goodness. It makes an amazing simple breakfast when sliced, toasted finished off with a smear of butter, or–my favorite– some avocado and a sprinkle of pink flake salt.
from My New Roots
The Life-Changing Loaf uses whole grains, nuts, and seeds. It is high in protein. It is incredibly high in fiber. It is gluten-free and vegan. Everything gets soaked for optimal nutrition and digestion. I will go so far as to say that this bread is good for you.

Ingredients
- 1 C sunflower seeds
- 1/2 C flax seeds
- 1/2 C hazelnuts or almonds
- 1.5 C rolled oats (gluten free, if neccessary)
- 2 T chia seeds
- 1/4 C psyllium seed husks (3T if using psyllium husk powder)
- 1 tsp fine grain sea salt (add 1/2 tsp if using course salt)
- 1 T maple syrup (for sugar-free, use a pinch of stevia)
- 3 T Coconut oil, melted (or ghee)
- 1.5 C water
Servings: loaf
Instructions
- In a flexible, silicon loaf pan combine all dry ingredients, stirring well. Whisk maple syrup, oil and water together in a measuring cup. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix very well until everything is completely soaked and dough becomes very thick (if the dough is too thick to stir, add one or two teaspoons of water until the dough is manageable). Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Let sit out on the counter for at least 2 hours, or all day or overnight. To ensure the dough is ready, it should retain its shape even when you pull the sides of the loaf pan away from it it.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place loaf pan in the oven on the middle rack, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove bread from loaf pan, place it upside down directly on the rack and bake for another 30-40 minutes. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool completely before slicing (difficult, but important).
- Store bread in a tightly sealed container for up to five days. Freezes well too – slice before freezing for quick and easy toast!
Recipe Notes
- If you don't have a silicone loaf pan, use a parchment-lined glass or metal one.
- Switch up the nuts and seeds to your liking, but be mindful of how it affects the water ratio.
- See the source recipe for great tips and tricks, and a FAQ section.
- I have successfully divided the recipe between 2 small loaf pans and made 1 for now and 1 for the freezer.
