• 50g pumpkin seeds
• 30g chia seeds
• 30g sesame seeds
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 250g Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese for extra protein)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

• In a large bowl, combine almond flour, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 3: Prepare the Wet Mixture

• In another bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

Step 4: Combine & Mix

• Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
• Stir until well combined, and the batter becomes thick and evenly mixed.

Step 5: Shape & Bake

• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
• Optional: Sprinkle extra seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

• Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
• Enjoy with your favorite toppings like avocado, nut butter, or low-fat cheese!

Notes & Tips

• Storage: Keeps fresh for 4-5 days in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze slices and thaw as needed.
• Egg-Free Option: If you prefer to avoid eggs, you can replace the eggs with chia eggs or flax eggs (1 tbsp of ground chia or flaxseeds mixed with 3 tbsp of water per egg).
• Dairy-Free: To make it dairy-free, swap the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or any plant-based yogurt alternative.
• Extra Protein Boost: Add 30g of protein powder to the mix for an even higher protein content.
