Overnight Oat, Nut & Seed Bread (gluten-free)

---

THE EASIEST OVERNIGHT BREAD

An easy overnight oat, nut and seed bread to try at home

This is such an easy homemade bread recipe, it literally takes throwing some ingredients together and letting them soak overnight (or for 3-10 hours) before baking. No kneading reguired!

I’ve actually been making this bread for a few years now, and so I do apologise for only sharing it with you now on the blog – but better late than never!

This recipe is 100% gluten, dairy and refined sugar-free. It also contains good whole carbs, good protein and healthy fats.

This bread is so dense and nutritious, that I feel it’s a good base for any meal. I love having a slice with a bowl of soup, or topped with avocado or banana slices! And of course, a drizzle of nut butter on top is insanely good (peanut, macadamia, cashew or almond butter). It’s great on it’s own and it’s perfect toasted!

I hope that you love this easy bread recipe as much as I do!
