- 700 ml water
- 35g sunflower seeds
- 35g pumpkin seeds
- 30g sesame seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder

Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A large mixing spoon or spatula
- A loaf pan
- Parchment paper

Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Flaxseed and Psyllium Husk: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and psyllium husk with 700 ml of water. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This mixture will thicken and become gel-like.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, baking powder, coriander, and green buckwheat flour. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and syrup (if using) to the flaxseed and psyllium mixture. Stir until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms.
- Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
