This is one of those recipes that completely changes the way you think about homemade bread.
It’s quick, simple, hearty, and packed with seeds that give every slice a wonderful nutty flavor and satisfying texture.

🥣 THE 3 MAIN INGREDIENTS
🌾 1. Oat flour — 1 cup
Use certified gluten-free oat flour if you need to avoid gluten.
You can also make your own by blending rolled oats until finely ground.
🌻 2. Mixed seeds — ½ cup
Use any combination you enjoy:
- Sunflower seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Flaxseeds
- Sesame seeds
- Chia seeds
🥚 3. Eggs — 2 large
Eggs help bind everything together and give the bread structure.
💧 Additional Basics
Although the recipe has 3 main ingredients, you’ll also need a little liquid to achieve the right consistency.
Use approximately:
- ¼–½ cup water or milk, as needed
- A pinch of salt, optional
- ½ teaspoon baking powder, optional
The exact amount of liquid depends on the type of flour and seeds you use.
🫙 HOW TO MAKE BREAD IN A JAR
Step 1 — Prepare your jar
Use a heat-safe ovenproof jar or small baking dish.
Do not use an ordinary glass jar unless it is specifically designed for baking or high heat.
Lightly grease the inside.
This helps the bread release easily after baking.
🌾 Step 2 — Mix the dry ingredients
Add the oat flour and mixed seeds to a bowl.
Stir them together.
Add a small pinch of salt if desired.
If you’re using baking powder, add it now.
Mix everything thoroughly.
🥚 Step 3 — Add the eggs
Crack the eggs into the mixture.
Stir well.
The mixture will initially be quite thick.
Slowly add your water or milk.
Start with a small amount and add more only when needed.
You want a thick batter that is moist but not watery.
🫙 Step 4 — Fill your baking container
Transfer the mixture into your heat-safe jar or small baking dish.
Don’t fill it all the way to the top.
Leave some room for the bread to rise.
Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle a few extra seeds over the top if you like.
🔥 Step 5 — Bake
Preheat your oven to approximately 180°C / 350°F.
Bake until the bread is firm in the center and lightly golden on top.
Depending on the size and shape of your container, this can take roughly 20–30 minutes.
Because containers and ovens vary, check the center with a toothpick or skewer.
If it comes out without wet batter, it’s ready.
Allow it to cool before slicing.
✨ THE SECRET TO GOOD TEXTURE
The most important part of this recipe is getting the moisture right.
Too much liquid can make the bread dense or gummy.
Too little liquid can make it dry and crumbly.
Add the liquid gradually.
And remember:
The batter should be thick and moist, not runny.
🌻 WHY SEEDS MAKE THIS BREAD SPECIAL
Seeds add more than just crunch.
Depending on the seeds you choose, they can contribute:
- Fiber
- Protein
- Unsaturated fats
- Minerals
- Different textures
- Nutty flavor
For example, flax and chia seeds can absorb liquid and help create a thicker texture.
Sunflower and pumpkin seeds provide crunch.
Sesame seeds add a rich, toasted flavor.
That’s why combining several types of seeds makes every bite interesting.
📜 A LITTLE HISTORY OF SEEDED BREAD
Seeded breads have a long history across many food traditions.
Long before modern packaged breads became common, people made breads from grains, seeds, nuts, and other locally available ingredients.
Seeds were particularly useful because they could be stored for long periods and added flavor and texture to simple staple foods.
Different regions developed their own versions using ingredients available locally.
Today, seeded breads remain popular because people enjoy their hearty texture and nutty flavor.
This simple recipe follows the same basic idea:
Use humble ingredients and turn them into something nourishing and satisfying.
