Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds Soak to create a gel-like consistency.
  • 2 cups water Let chia seeds absorb this for best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder For leavening.
  • Optional seeds for topping Choose according to preference.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add the water and stir until the mixture is well combined.
  • Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb water and create a gel-like consistency.

Baking

  • Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • If desired, sprinkle seeds on top for added texture.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is firm and golden.
  • Allow it to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap slices and freeze for up to 3 months. Consider adding nuts or dried fruits for extra flavor and texture. Adding honey or maple syrup can enhance sweetness.
