Healthy Nut and Seed Bread - Gluten Free - Low Carb - Vegan - Dairy Free - Oat Free - No White Sugar  - Egg Free - Keto 

In a Medium bowl add and mix well:
1 Cup Raw Sunflowers
1/2 Cup of nuts of your choice
1 Cup Ground Flax meal
1/2 Cup Hemp Seeds
1/2 Cup Whole Flax Seeds
1/4 Cup Psyllium Husk Powder
2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
1 teaspoon Salt

In a Small bowl add and Whisk together:
3 Tablespoons of Oil of your choice
1 Tablespoon of Honey or Maple Syrup
1-1/2 Cup Water

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients mix well.
The dough thickens up as you mix it.

Line a 9X5 Baking Pan with Parchment Paper
Use a Spatula to push down evenly
Cover with Plastic wrap and rest for 2-24 hours on countertop.
The dough will stiffen more and will hold its shape when
you pull back the parchment paper

Preheat over to 350*

Bake 20 Minutes
Remove from the Oven, invert onto an oven safe wire rack.
Peel back the Parchment Paper
Place back in the oven on the rack for 30-40 Minutes 
or until the bread sounds hollow when you tap on it.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing

After I slice the bread I freeze in small baggies.
When ready to serve you can Toast the Frozen Piece or defrost

I like the bread plain or top with Peanut butter, Jelly, Cheese or anything else

We also like to take this bread when we are hiking.
