Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup water or plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • Optional: extra seeds or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, combine:
    Rolled oats
    Chia seeds
    Baking powder
    Salt
    Stir until evenly mixed.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk together:
    Eggs
    Water or plant-based milk
    Oil
    Mix until smooth and well blended.
  • Bring the Batter Together
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to form a thick batter.Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes so the chia seeds can absorb moisture.
  • Fill the Pan
    Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the surface and add toppings if desired.
  • Bake
    Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool Completely
    Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Batter thickness may vary; add 1–2 tablespoons extra liquid if too dry.
  • A metal loaf pan produces the best crust.
  • Resting the batter is key for structure.
