THE RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
-2 cups rolled *oats
-1/2 cup chia seeds
-5 tablespoons *psyllium husks 4 tablespoons coconut oil
-1 tablespoon maple syrup
-1 teaspoon salt
-2 cups water
NOTES:
*OATS: Oats are naturally gluten-free, however cross-contamination can occur if they are produced in the same place as wheat, barley or rye. Most people with Coeliac disease can tolerate oats that are certified gluten-free.
*PSYLLIUM HUSKS: Take caution when using psyllium husks. Please note that if you are interested in taking a dietary psyllium supplement, it is important to read the instructions from the brand you are using carefully. Do not give psyllium to young children, as it can be a choking hazard.
HOW TO MAKE IT:
1. Preheat your oven to 360 F (180 C)
2. Melt the coconut oil and mix in a bowl with the oats, chia seeds,
psyllium husks, maple syrup, salt and water
3. Grease a bread pan with additional coconut oil
4. Pour the batter into the bread pan and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon
5. Place the bread pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes
6. After 30 minutes remove the bread from the pan, and place it
upside down on an oven tray
7. Bake the bread for another 30-40 minutes (upside down)
8. Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and leave it to cool for a few minutes on a cooling grid before slicing it (if you cut it while still too hot it may break apart)
9. Once the bread has cooled, you can slice and serve
10. Top with peanut butter, smashed avocado, cream cheese or jam 11. Eat and enjoy!
12. Once the bread has cooled fully, store in an airtight container
13. I like to set aside the bread that I plan to eat within the next 3 to 4 days in a separate container (keeping it in a cool dry place, but out of the fridge)
14. I store the rest of the bread in a separate airtight container in the fridge to keep fresh
Heating instructions:
I like to lightly toast the bread that I store in the fridge to freshen it up
Place a slice of bread into a toaster slot to heat, checking that it doesn’t burn
Top with peanut butter, smashed avocado, cream cheese or jam
Eat and enjoy!

How much coconut oil should we use? I don’t see this ingredient listed in the list.. thanks for all you do!
Oh, now I see it, listed next to the psyllium. Sorry.🥴
Loved reading this post! I love bread, especially avocado toast with a fried egg. So I will definitely try it out, since it also doesn’t contain many calories either in comparison to the usual bread I used to eat before. I also eat in a caloric deficit at the moment, so I try to switch to healthier versions of carbs, such as pasta and also bread in this case. Right now, I think I have found the perfect balance between counting my calories (for this I use Yazio – https://www.yazio.com/en) and implementing your meal plans and recipes! I’m actually so proud of myself for feeling the healthiest me in a long time and having fun with keeping track of my nutrition as well. Within 2 months I already lost around 8 lb and will challenge myself to lose a little more 🙂 Thank you, Liezl!
