Description
Flourless Oat and Chia Bread is a healthy, gluten-free delight that is easy to make at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In another bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, water, and olive oil until well blended.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly until combined.
- Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes to let the chia seeds soak up the liquid.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, leveling the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For added sweetness, fold in 1/4 cup of dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.
- For a savory flavor, skip the cinnamon and add herbs like rosemary or thyme.
