Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 100 grams Pumpkin seeds
• 50 grams Sunflower seeds
• 30 grams Flaxseeds
• 20 grams Chia seeds
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 10 grams Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 200 grams Greek yogurt
• 50 ml Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 100 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds to the flour mixture, and stir until the seeds are evenly distributed throughout.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy. Stir in Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, and water until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra pumpkin seeds on top for decoration.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve plain or with your favorite spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
