Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 175 degC
  2. Grease a loaf tin with extra coconut oil.
  3. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and roughly combine. Add water and oil to the large bowl and combine thoroughly – I find that using my hands does the best mixing.
  4. Turn the batter into the loaf tin and press down firmly. Decorate the top with extra pumpkin seeds and flax seeds, walnuts etc and press down to ensure they won’t fall off.
  5. Cook for 1 hour.
  6. Depending on your oven you may need to cook for a bit longer, just check. 
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool thoroughly before slicing gently.
  8. Store in an air-tight container in the pantry for 2 days before moving to the fridge or freezer.
