Cinnamon Free Seeded Whole Grain Loaf
Hearty, nutty, and packed with texture, this seeded whole grain loaf is the kind of bread that makes you feel genuinely good about what you're eating. Oat flour forms the base, while sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed load every slice with satisfying crunch and earthy depth. A touch of turmeric and black pepper give it a subtle warmth that's complex without relying on any spice blends that might sneak in unwanted ingredients — a real win for anyone navigating a cinnamon sensitivity. Applesauce and honey keep things moist and just barely sweet, so it works beautifully with both savory toppings and a simple drizzle of extra honey. The batter comes together in two bowls and bakes into a deep golden loaf that looks like it came from an artisan bakery. Letting it cool fully on the rack is the one step you don't want to rush — the crumb sets up perfectly and slices cleanly when you give it the time it needs.
