Buckwheat Chia Bread

🧂 Ingredients

• ¼ cup chia seeds
• 1 cup water
• 2 ½ cup buckwheat flour

  or sub oat flour (*see notes)
• 3 tsp baking powder

  make sure it is fresh!
• 1 tsp salt
• ⅔ cup water
• ¼ cup canola oil

  or another neutral liquid oil
• ¼ cup sunflower seeds

  optional

Instructions

• 1 In a measuring cup, whisk together the chia seeds and 1 cup of water. Set aside
  for 20 minutes until jelly.
• 2 Preheat your oven to 355˚F (180˚C). Lightly grease a small 8x3-inch loaf pan
  [https://amzn.to/3KFcSXN] and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on
  both sides (*see photo above). (Note: If using a wider loaf pan your bread will
  be flatter).
• 3 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  Then add the remaining ⅔ cup of water, canola oil, and gel-like chia seed
  mixture. Mix until just combined and please do not overmix or your bread won't
  rise very well!
• 4 Spoon the sticky dough into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing out evenly.
  Sprinkle with sunflower seeds as desired. Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes, or
  until a skewer comes out clean.
• 5 Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Then use the parchment
  overhang to lift the loaf out of the pan.
• 6 Slice and enjoy!
