Whole Food Ingredients

For this delicious vegan seed bread, you will need only 6 simple whole food ingredients. It is healthy and easy to make. Here is what you’ll need:

  • seeds – I used a combination of whole flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Use plain raw seeds without any additives.
  • whole psyllium husk – It is vital for this vegan seed bread recipe. It’s basically soluble fiber and binds the ingredients together. You cannot replace it with any other ingredient. I used whole psyllium husk, not powder. If you use powder, maybe you’ll need half of the amount. That’s why I recommend using a kitchen scale to measure it properly.
  • baking soda – used as a rising agent
  • apple cider vinegar – reacts with the soda and helps the rising process

Healthy and Simple Gluten Free No Yeast Seed Bread

Seeds are a great plant-based source of fiber, minerals, and healthy fats. They are loaded with iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Flaxseed is packed with lignans (kind of antioxidant) that has high anti-inflammatory properties.

As this vegan bread is made from seeds it turns out to be a dense loaf. It contains no eggs, no dairy or flour. At the same time, it’s also soft on the inside. It has a nutty flavor and chewy texture. It is a great and tasty way to enjoy those healthy seeds, like flax, sesame, or pumpkin seeds.

This delicious healthy vegan seed bread is ridiculously easy to make, requires no kneading or rising time and can be prepared in minutes. It may take a while to bake, but it’s worth it.

Overall, for a gluten-free and grain-free bread that has no yeast, this vegan seed bread is surprisingly good and delicious!

Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Put the flax seeds in a blender and blend into fine flour. You may need to scrape the sides from time to time. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Then, put the sesame and pumpkin seeds in the blender and blend into flour as well.
  • Add all dry ingredients to the bowl (ground flax, sesame and pumpkin seeds, whole psyllium husk, baking soda and salt). Mix everything until well combined.

  • After that, add the wet ingredients (water and apple cider vinegar) to the bowl. Stir well with a spoon. You may press the mixture with the back of the spoon, so everything is well incorporated and sticks together.
  • Slightly press the dough between your hands until it is well combined. Shape it into a loaf and place it in the baking pan (mine measures 25 x 21 cm/ 10" x 8"). You can make some light cuts on top of the dough with a sharp knife.
  • Bake for 50 mins. Let the bread cool, then slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Psyllium husk is basically soluble fiber. It absorbs most of the water and binds the ingredients together. That's why it cannot be substituted with any other ingredient.
  • You can easily find psyllium husk in health food stores, online, or well-stocked grocery stores. Some brands can turn your baked goods purple (it is all natural, but a bit strange).

    So yummy!!! I made two versions of this. One exactly as the recipe says and the other one with added black cumin seeds. So yummy!! But I have to say 1tsp salt was too much for me haha, too salty!! But thats an easy fix! Will make it more often 🙂 It’s also amazing for my autoimmune issues since it has no eggs, dairy and stuff like that!

    • Hi Kris,
      considering your sesame seed allergy, a suitable replacement for this recipe could be sunflower seeds or hemp seeds. I hope this works for you.

  3. Do you think using a chia egg or normal egg could replace the psyllium husk? I was so eager to bake this recipe this weekend but realized I forgot to buy the Pysllium husk:(

    Reply
    • Hey Angela,
      I understand that feeling of excitement to bake a recipe only to realize you’re missing a key ingredient like psyllium husk.
      While chia egg can work as a binder in some recipes, it might not have the same strong gelling and thickening properties as psyllium husk in this vegan seed bread recipe.
      If you’re not following a vegan diet, using a regular egg can be an option. Eggs are excellent binders. However, they may not provide the same dietary fiber content or binding strength as psyllium husk.
      So I can’t guarantee the exact texture and results will be the same as using psyllium husk.

  4. Hi venelina! Tq so much for this recipe. I’m based in Malaysia where it’s super humid… would I need to adjust the recipe to avoid the bread being too gooey? If yes how much?

    Tq tq tq!

    • Hi Nina,
      baking in a high-humidity climate can present some challenges, as the excess moisture in the air can affect the texture and shelf life of baked goods. Maybe you should try to reduce the water in the recipe, starting with around 3/4 cup, and monitor the dough’s consistency, gradually adding more water as needed. Additionally, extend the baking time as necessary to ensure the bread is fully cooked and firm to prevent it from becoming too gooey.
      I hope this is helpful. 🙂

    • Hi Karen,
      Yes you can use chia instead of the flax seed. I think the result will be the same.
