YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Nut & Seed Bread Not For the Birds

Res ipsa hummingbird: This recipe hums for itself.

1 cup raw almonds*
1 cup raw walnuts
1 cup whole flax seeds
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup sesame seeds
5 eggs
1 ½ tsp. salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  3. Chop all the nuts and seeds into comfortably bite-sized bits. Not like a meal (e.g., almond meal) or a butter (e.g., peanut butter), but small pieces. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl, empty into the loaf pan, and level the top.
  4. Bake at 325F for 60 minutes. The finished loaf should sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  5. Slice very THIN slices, and slather with your choice of nut butters, preserves, avocado, smoked salmon, sliced turkey, butter, cheddar, or whatever your heart desires.

*To customize, keep a ratio of 2 cups of nuts to 4-5 cups of seeds.

  1. Dr. Sukol – I am eager to try this recipe but have a question- do you chop or grind the walnuts and almonds? Or leave them whole?


    • Definitely chop them up into comfortable, bite-sized bits. Thanks for your question, and thank you for reading YHIOYP!
