3-Seed Whole Grain & Kefir Quick Bread
A quick and healthy whole grain bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons roasted sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons roasted pumpkin seeds
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 3/4 cups plain kefir
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds hemp hearts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Place the oats in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade, and process until finely ground.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground oats, whole wheat and all-purpose flours, 2 tablespoons of the sunflower seeds, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pumpkin seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well with a spatula to combine the dry ingredients.
- Add the olive oil, honey, and kefir, and stir with a spatula, to combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix. The dough will be sticky.
- Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan, and sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoons of sunflower seeds, 1/2 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds, and 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds over the top. Lightly pat the seeds so they adhere to the dough.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool for about 15 minutes, and then turn over to remove from pan. Serve warm.
Notes
Tightly wrap leftovers in foil and store in a cool, dry place. Leftovers taste best if they are toasted or warmed.
