Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour (fine ground)
  • 1/3 cup ground golden flaxseed (flax meal)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds (plus 1–2 tablespoons for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional for extra structure)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon monk fruit or erythritol sweetener (optional, balances flavor)

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan and oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease the sides.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, ground flaxseed, coconut flour, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add almond milk, oil, vinegar, and sweetener (if using). Whisk until smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a thick, spreadable batter forms. Fold in 1/2 cup sunflower seeds.
  5. Pan and top: Spread the batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining sunflower seeds over the surface and gently press them in.
  6. Bake: Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  7. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Lift it out using the parchment and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This sets the structure.
  8. Slice and serve: Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut into 12–14 slices. Enjoy plain, toasted, or topped with butter, avocado, or sugar-free jam.
