Soaked Oats Bread

Not only is this bread loaded with nourishment, it’s really easy to make. Simply stir, soak, stir again and bake. Serve a slice with a bowl of soup or... salad to round them out into a main meal. Or, toast some for breakfast on those days when you’re not particularly hungry - with over 8g of protein and 5g of fibre per slice, it’ll keep you going for much longer than your average loaf.

It freezes well, so consider making 2 loaves and keeping some slices in the freezer. Read more Not only is this bread loaded with nourishment, it’s really easy to make.

Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.

2

Place the pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds, oats, chia seeds, milled flax, buckwheat flour and salt into a bowl. Add the water and olive oil and stir to combine. Cover and set aside to soak overnight, or for at least 1 hour.

3

Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan. Sprinkle the bicarb over the surface of the batter and pour the vinegar over, allowing it to fizz up. Add the eggs and stir well to incorporate, until you have a wet, sloppy mix. Pour into the prepare loaf tin and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from the loaf tin and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. If your mixture is not wet and sloppy, add a little extra water. If in doubt, knock the bottom of the loaf - it will sound hollow when fully cooked.
