Flaxseed can be found in all kinds of health foods and for good reason too! This super food may be tiny, but it's big on flavor and nutrition. Flaxseed is a great source for omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. A number of studies show that flaxseeds can help lower blood pressure and fight cancer.

Cinnamon Raisin Seed & Nut Bread
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (2 ounces / 60 grams) millet seed
- ¾ cup (115g) sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup (75g) pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 3/4 cup (100g) hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup Thompson raisins (140g)
- 2¼ cups (203g) gluten-free rolled oats
- ½ cup (85g) flax seeds
- 1/3 cup (30g) psyllium seed husks
- 3 tablespoons (35g) chia seeds
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2½ cups (600g) water
- 1/4 cup (55g) coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons (40g) maple syrup
Filling
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 3½ tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Spread the millet, sunflower seeds, pepitas, and chopped hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and toast until lightly browned and fragrant, tossing occasionally, about 15-20 minutes.
- Soak the raisins enough boiling water to cover while you toast the nuts & seeds. Drain well and set aside.
- Toss together the toasted seeds, oats, flax seeds , psyllium seed husks, chia seeds, cinnamon, and sea salt in a large bowl.
- Add the water, coconut oil, maple syrup, and raisins and toss to combine, using your hands to mix it together really well, until the "dough" is very moist.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together.
- Prepare a loaf pan (8x4 of 9x5) with a parchment paper sling and line the ends with parchment paper.
- Scoop 1/3 of the dough into the loaf pan and spread it out evenly, sprinkle 1/2 of the cinnamon and brown sugar mix over the top. Repeat with another 1/3 of the dough and the rest of the cinnamon and brown sugar. Top with the remaining 1/3 of the dough, using your hands to create a slight dome form over the top.
- Cover the pan with a cloth and let sit for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Bake the loaf, uncovered, for up to 1½ - 1¾ hours until deeply golden brown, checking every 15 minutes after 1 hour.
- Let cool completely for at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
- Serve slices extra toasted with your favorite toppings (I'm partial to butter and flaky salt). Keep refrigerated for up to a week.
