For those following my recipes, you know that I use chia seeds often. Why? Because they are versatile, highly nutritious, and act as a perfect binder when you are cooking gluten-free (learn more) or looking for an egg replacement. Chia seeds contain large amounts of fibre omega-3 fatty acids, plant protein, and many essential minerals and antioxidants. One of their unique characteristics is their high content of heart-healthy omega-3s.

Almonds are one of the most nutritious of all nuts and a powerful addition to our daily diet. Eating almonds regularly can significantly benefit your health by lowering cholesterol, reducing health risks, and supporting heart, skin, and bone health. They are among the best dietary sources of vitamin E—which plays a role in decreasing inflammation and reducing oxidative damage. Research also suggests that almonds contribute to better glycemic control, and they are high in protein, magnesium, and calcium.

  2. Soak the chia seeds: Cover the chia seeds with the warm water and let soak for 10 minutes, mixing regularly with a spoon to prevent clumping.

  3. Mix the base: Once ready, add all the other ingredients except the baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.

  4. Activate the rise: When everything is nicely combined, gently fold in the baking soda and apple cider vinegar.

  5. Prepare to bake: Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with baking paper, smooth out the top, and sprinkle your choice of seeds on top to garnish.

  6. Bake: Cook for 40 minutes. Then, remove the loaf from the pan and bake directly on the oven rack for another 5 to 10 minutes. Check that the middle is cooked through by inserting a sharp knife.

  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the loaf cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy!
