Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 90g Oat Flakes (1 cup): The base of our bread, providing texture, flavor, and nutrients.
- A Pinch of Salt: To enhance the flavors.
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda: Helps the bread rise without the use of traditional flour.
- 2 Tablespoons Mixed Seeds: Add a crunchy texture and a boost of nutrients. Think flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds.
- 200ml Kefir or Yogurt (~3/4 cup): Adds moisture and tanginess to the bread, contributing to its unique flavor.
- 1 Medium Egg: Binds the ingredients together, adding structure.
- 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar: Reacts with the baking soda to help the bread rise.
- Seeds for Decoration: A final touch to make your loaf as visually appealing as it is tasty.
