Seed Loaf (aka Shit Your Pants Bread 💩)
Call it what you will, this bread will change your life!
This chewy, hearty and delicious seed loaf was originally posted to my Instagram back in the early days (before I had a blog) and some of my friends coined it the ‘$hit your pants loaf’! It’s filled with good-for-you seeds and nuts, and psyllium for the ultimate effectiveness….if you get my drift! I’m telling you, it’s effective AND delicious!
You’ll love that it’s both chewy and crunchy. I love to give it a smear of butter or nut butter and enjoy it for breakfast. This loaf takes minimal work, a little bit of patience and a little faith in the process. But your digestion will thank you!
Seed Loaf (aka Shit Your Pants Bread 💩)
Ingredients:
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup flax seeds
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3 tbsp psyllium husks
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 1/2 cups water
Directions:
In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Add in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil and water. Mix well until everything is completely soaked and very thick. Place the mixture into a flexible loaf pan and smooth the top. (*see note)
Let the mixture sit on the counter at room temperature for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Bake for 20 minutes Remove from the oven and place upside down on a cooling rack.
Then return to the oven for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into it.
Enjoy!
Notes:
A silicone baking pan is best because it can help you remove the loaf more easily and to check for doneness, but if you don’t have one, a regular loaf pan is fine.
The loaf holds its shape because of the chia seeds and the psyllium husks. Try not to substitute these out. If you have a nut allergy, you can replace them with seeds.
