Mustard Free Seeded Whole Grain Loaf
Hearty, golden, and packed with texture, this whole grain loaf is the kind of bread that makes you feel genuinely good about every slice. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia, and flaxseed are baked right into the crumb, giving you a satisfying chew and a serious nutritional punch without any of the condiment-aisle ingredients that can sneak mustard into store-bought seeded loaves. Oat flour forms the base, while applesauce and olive oil keep things moist and tender — no dairy, no fuss. A touch of turmeric and black pepper adds a subtle warmth that makes this loaf taste far more complex than its simple method suggests. The batter comes together in two bowls and rests briefly before baking, letting the chia and flaxseed do their thing and firm everything up beautifully. Once it comes out of the oven deep golden and fragrant, the hardest part is waiting the full 15 minutes before cutting in. Slice it thick for avocado toast, layer it with your favorite spreads, or just eat it warm with a drizzle of olive oil — it holds up to all of it.
