Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted hulled sunflower seeds

  • ¼ cup unsalted hulled pumpkin seeds

  • 3 tablespoons flaxseeds

  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • 1 ¾ cups almond flour

  • ¼ cup coconut flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • ¼ cup avocado oil

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

  2. Combine sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds and sesame seeds in a medium dry skillet; toast over medium heat, stirring, until light brown and starting to pop, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the seed mixture in a small bowl; transfer the remaining seeds to a large bowl. Add almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the large bowl; whisk to combine. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, oil, chia seeds and maple syrup (if using) in a medium bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved seeds, pressing them gently into the batter to help them adhere. Let stand for 10 minutes.

  4. Bake the loaf until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes before turning out onto the rack to cool completely.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
