This wholesome gluten-free quickbread has six different seeds, nuts, and grains - packing a whole lot of hearty flavor, textures, and nutritional power. No yeast required!
When we first moved to San Francisco, we thought someone had placed this whole California joke on us. It was May, and it was SO cold. Like bone-chilling, dense fog kind of cold. One of my favorite pictures of Nate during this time is sitting at our dining room table with a sleeping bag wrapped around him. Everyone said “just wait until September! It gets glorious in September!” So while the rest of the world was putting on their sundresses, we were purchasing puffer vests and slippers. No joke.
But, everyone was right! This past month has been absolutely glorious! From epic sailing on the bay to choosing to take the long way home just to catch that perfect clear view - now I know what they were all talking about. Absolutely glorious. http://

So it’s even better that I’ve been working from home this month and have plenty of time to experiment in the kitchen. There is a bit of hint of fall to the air which makes for baking and making warm, comfort foods all the more enticing. We’ve already established a bunch of new recipes to add to our weeknight repertoire - this one from Pinch of Yum an especially big hit - and I think this bread is going to be in a normal rotation too. Even though it’s a quickbread, you can slice it and toast it like normal bread!
I grew up in a household that only use sprouted grain bread, so Wonderbread and white breads don’t bring back nostalgia. It’s seedy, wheaty, grainy bread that really does it for me. Honestly, the seedier and grainier and nuttier the better, in my opinion! And this bread is just that. With almonds, rolled oats, hemp, chia, flax, and sunflower seeds - it’s so hearty. We’ve eaten it covered in nut butter, jam, and homemade pumpkin apple butter (recipe to come!)
Since going gluten free, I don’t eat bread very often. Especially since the gluten free breads that restaurants serve looks so white and refined that there’s just no nutritional value to it. It always makes me sad that I can’t enjoy the wholesome looking seeded loaf, and instead the g-free option is like this pale flavorless slice. So I’m really proud to share this success of a gluten free bread with you, that’s full of delicious seeds and grains and nuts!
Enjoy, and Happy Friday!

Thanks for stopping by! 
I am yet to find a really good gluten free bread, so I am going to have to try this, as I miss bread so much!
I have only been to SF a couple of times, but always at the beginning of summer and never had good weather.

I know! It’s too bad that you couldn’t come out here in October.
GF, whole grain and ALL THE NUTS AND SEEDS? This is the bread of my DREAMSSS! And I loveee the fact that it’s a quick bread so I don’t have to wait forever to shovel ALL the slices into my face!

Hahaha yup! Although it slices better if you let it cool a bit 🙂
Quick breads are awesome 🙂 I’ve only done desserty ones so far, but this one looks awesome as a snack or with my eggs in the morning.

It’s delicious with sweets or savory!
Don’t you just love working from home? You can stay in your jammies, wear slippers, and bake delicious bread! I’m not g-free, but I have had that g-free restaurant bread and it was terrible! It completely fell apart. Your six seed nutty bread looks so much better - and healthier!

When I work from home, I usually workout in the AM and then change back into my pajamas. Lol!
This. bread. looks. so. good!!! It looks way too soft and slice-able for a seedy gf bread! Totally have to try it. And hooray for having a better September after your crazy chilly welcome to California! 🙂

My current favorite way to eat it!
I’ve been looking for a good gluten-free quick bread! Eating yeast breads is hit or miss for me… I don’t always feel so great.. so this one would be perfect. We’re also having really nice sunny weather on the east coast but I’m afraid it won’t last for too long. Have a good weekend!

Have a great weekend to you too as well!
I remember heading to SF from Sacramento and running to Old Navy to buy scarves- in June! I swear I’ve only been warm in SF a handful of times 🙂 Love this bread! I’m all about homemade bread and love how easy this one sounds, can’t wait to make it!

My family and I vacationed in SF in March and we couldn’t believe how cold it was! But it’s such a gorgeous area I’m sure I could get used to the weather! I’ve been wanting to make a nutrition packed bread other than my usual whole wheat loaf! This looks like the perfect option!
