Seeded collagen loaf

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup flax seeds
  • ½ cup hazelnuts or almonds
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (if making gluten-free, make sure to get certified gluten-free oats)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 4 tbsp psyllium seed husks
  • 1 tsp fine grain sea salt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 serving of Dose & Co Pure Collagen powder
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 ½ cups water

 

METHOD:

  1. In a flexible, silicone loaf pan or a standard loaf pan lined with parchment, combine all dry ingredients except collagen powder, stirring well.

  2. Whisk maple syrup, coconut oil, collagen powder and water together in a measuring cup. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix very well until everything is completely soaked and dough becomes very thick (if the dough is too thick to stir, add one or two teaspoons of water until the dough is manageable).

  3. Smooth out the top of the loaf with the back of a spoon, before letting sit out on the kitchen counter for at least 2 hours, or all day/overnight. To gauge if the dough is ready, it should retain its shape even when you pull the sides of the loaf pan away from it or lift the parchment.

  4. Preheat oven to 175° C.

  5. Place loaf pan in the oven on the middle rack, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove bread from loaf pan, place it upside down directly on the rack and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped.

  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy fresh or store in a tightly sealed container fresh for up to five days before placing in the freezer.
