Healthy No-Yeast Bread in a Jar (No White Flour, No Sugar)

🕒 Ready in about 1 minute (prep) + bake time

Ingredients (for 2 small jars or 1 large loaf)

• 1 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)

• ½ cup whole wheat flour (or buckwheat/almond flour for gluten-free)

• 1 ½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 cup plain yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted coconut oil)

• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (plus more for topping)

• 1 tbsp flaxseed or chia seeds

• ½ cup warm water or milk (adjust for batter consistency)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare jars: Lightly oil or butter heatproof glass jars.

3. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine oat flour, wheat (or substitute) flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and seeds.

4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in yogurt, oil, and water/milk. Stir until smooth and thick (not runny).

5. Fill jars: Pour batter into jars, filling about ⅔ full (it will rise).

6. Top with seeds for a crunchy crust.

7. Bake for 25–35 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
