Super Powder Chia Bread (gluten-free!)

All credit for this goes to my "Oh She Glows" cookbook. This flatbread/power bread/protein snack/gluten-free bread substitute is packed with way more protein and is a meal just in itself for a small piece of this power bread. Use it as a toast substitute, and spread on some coconut oil, nut butter, hummus, vegan cream cheese and/or veggies for a filling pick me up snack or a compliment with any meal (especially breakfast!) You can even use it to make this power pizza I made last night. VERY easy to make, with this I feel no need to buy bread anymore! Each slice contains 9 g of protein and more than 7 g of fiber.


Ingredients:

½ cup gluten-free oats
¼ cup buckwheat grouts OR more oats
½ cup chia seeds
¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
¼ cup raw pepitas/pumpkin seeds
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sugar (OPTIONAL)
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
(feel free to experiment with spices/additions and adjust or add more to your liking!)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9 inch square (or comparable) cake pan with parchment paper or spray well with coconut oil cooking spray.

Blend oats and buckwheat in a blender or food processor until a fine flour forms.

Combine with remaining ingredients (by hand or in blender/food processor) so seeds are mixed in well but not ground up.

Mix in 1 cup of water to make mixture more watery.

Pour mixture into your pan and spread out as evenly as you can. Sprinkle with additional salt if you'd like.

Bake, uncovered for 25 minutes or until firm. Let cool 5-10 minutes. Slice into 8 triangular or square pieces and enjoy!  Leftovers can be stored in fridge 2-3 days, any longer, should be stored in freezer and thawed before using.
