Food & Recipes door laura FG

So, Julie from food blog Hapjesprinces contacted me, because she has the most delicious recipe for gluten and wheat free, vegan bread and she wants to share it with the Fitgirlcode community. Us gals at Fitgirlcode just love bread, so we are going to try it! 

"I definitely want to share this recipe with all of you. We all know bread is not exactly the most healthy start of the dag. This recipe is an ideal alternative for bread. It contains no gluten, no wheat and no butter. This bread is a much more healthier version than what we buy at the stores. It's easy to make, because you don’t have to knead. You only need a spoon and a mixing bowl. It includes grains, nuts and seeds. In short, lots of protein and fiber, it's gluten free, vegan and soooooo good for you".  - Julie

 

Healthy bread with seeds and figs

Ingredients:

  • 35 g sunflower seeds
  • 35 g pumpkin seeds
  • 50 g flax seeds
  • 30 g hazelnuts/almonds
  • 75 g oatmeal
  • 20 gr spelt flakes
  • 4-5 figs
  • 1 tsp coconut blossom sugar, honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tbsp sea salt
  • ½ tbsp oil
  • 175 ml hot water

 

And here's how it's made:

  • Mix all dry ingredients(except figs!) in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the hot water and oil and let sit out on the counter for at least 2 hours, or overnight. To ensure the dough is ready it should retain its shape when you pull on the sides of the loaf pan
  • Mash it coarsely with a mixer and stir well wit a spoon. Cut the figs into small pieces and mix into the dough
  • Line a small baking pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180°C. Spoon the mixture into the mold and push firmly. Bake 25-30minutes until golden and firm
  • Cool completely and and cut into pieces

Just look at that! Doesn't that look delicious? I'm gonna try it, how about you?
