This no-knead oat and seed bread contains no flour or yeast for a dense, oil-free, vegan, gluten-free bread loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients!
No-Knead, Flourless Oat and Seed Bread
While it’s loaf-like in shape, gluten-free seed bread recipe certainly isn’t your everyday sandwich loaf. Instead, it’s a yeast-free, egg-free, dairy-free, and flourless loaf reminiscent of seed-packed Nordic bread, like Rye bread from Denmark, and flourless ‘adventure bread’ (which a little Googling suggests originated in The Mill bakery in San Francisco, thanks to Josey Baker).
So, what exactly is this oat seed bread recipe? Well, taking things a step further than my risen flourless flax bread, this recipe is made almost entirely of oats and mixed seeds with no leavening agent. The result is a loaf jam-packed with good-for-you ingredients and hearty enough for at home or on the go – whether camping, hiking, etc.
It’s moist, dense, chewy, filling, healthy, and packed with fiber, heart-healthy fats, and micro-nutrients (like iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, and more) in every bite to leave you feeling super satisfied. Plus, unlike similar recipes, this one is entirely sugar-free and oil-free, too.
Best of all, it’s SO easy to make with just a handful of pantry ingredients in one bowl with minimal clean-up and no special equipment or techniques. Mix, rest, bake, cool, and enjoy – Voila! A healthy, no-flour bread for breakfast, lunch, or snacking.
The Ingredients
- Rolled oats: This seedy oatmeal bread recipe is naturally gluten-free, but use certified gluten-free oats if necessary.
- Seeds: I use several seeds for a brilliant combination of texture, flavor, and nutrients with binding ability. I use raw seeds, but dry toasting the pumpkin/sunflower seeds can add a toastier, deeper flavor.
- Ground flax seeds (regular or golden – important for binding the loaf)
- Chia seeds (also help with binding)
- Pumpkin seeds
- Sunflower seeds
Other seeds, like sesame seeds, hemp seeds, and pine nuts (which are actually seeds) also work.
- Psyllium husk: This ingredient helps wheat-free and gluten-free bread mimic gluten dough better and is a great binder- do NOT skip or replace it, as there is no substitute.
- Salt: A small amount of salt will enhance the overall flavor of the seed bread.
- Hot water: Make sure it’s hot to ‘activate’ the ground psyllium and flaxseed to thicken and bind. If it isn’t, the dough will need to rest for longer.
- Vinegar: I use apple cider vinegar, though other kinds of vinegar work and will lighten up the dough slightly.

What Else Could I Add to a Seed Loaf?
- Nuts: Replace some pumpkin or sunflower seeds with nuts, like hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc.
- Maple syrup: Or coconut sugar – just 2-3 teaspoons can help balance the flavors (or about 2 tbsp for a sweeter loaf). Sugar-free options like erythritol/stevia (granulated or drops) also work.
- Dried fruit: For more of a sweet loaf, try replacing some seeds with a handful of raisins, cranberries, finely chopped dates, apricots, figs, etc.
- Seasonings: For more of a savory oat bread recipe, you could add dried onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and/or chili flakes. For a sweeter loaf, add a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice. Dried herbs would also work.
- Other add–ins: Sliced olives or sun-dried tomatoes may also work well.
How to Make Oatmeal Seed Bread
- First, stir all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Then, add the wet ingredients (water and apple cider vinegar) and mix again – first with a wooden spoon, then with your hands.
- Transfer the oat seed dough to a parchment paper-lined loaf tin (leave overhang for easy removal), cover with a damp kitchen towel (or plastic wrap), and set aside for 30 minutes, preheating the oven to 360F/180C (top and bottom heat) in the last 15 minutes.
During this time, the ingredients will swell and bind to create a cohesive flourless loaf. The water should have entirely soaked up during this time. If not, leave it for longer.
- Transfer the loaf to the oven and bake for around 50-60 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Finally, remove the seed load from the oven and leave it to cool before slicing. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
This flourless oatmeal and seed bread works particularly well when toasted and/or served as an open sandwich, topped with:
- Hummus and vegetables (cucumber, radish, tomato, etc.)
- Other dips, pates, and spreads – like garlic white bean dip and lentil hummus
- Sliced or smashed avocado
- Chickpea ‘tuna’ salad with garnishes
- Nut or seed butter (optionally topped with banana slices or berries)
- Jellies and jams – like this raspberry chia jam
- Vegan cream cheese with veggies (tomato, cucumber, gherkins, etc.)
- Vegan ricotta cheese with maple syrup and fruit (apple, pear, berries)
- Pesto and tomato slices
You can also enjoy this healthy bread alongside soups, stews, and salads.
Storage Instructions
Store: Make sure the seedy oat bread has cooled completely, then store leftovers tightly wrapped/in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 6-8 days.
Freeze: Store the seed loaf, either whole or sliced (with parchment paper between the slices) in a Ziplock bag or plastic wrap in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thaw in the fridge overnight, at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or a toaster oven/microwave.
FAQs
Can I toast the oat seed bread?
Yes, and it will make the outside crunchier, like regular bread.
Can I make mini loaves?
Yes, that should be fine – you’ll just need to reduce the baking time. You could also bake the dough in a muffin tin for 20-25 minutes, remove them from the tin, and bake for a further 15-20 minutes (for crispier, browner edges).
Can I make the dough in advance?
I think you’d be able to leave the dough to soak overnight (up to 12 hours) before baking. It may take slightly longer to bake and have a softer, moister consistency.
Recipe Notes
- Don’t omit the psyllium: There is no similar replacement, and it’s necessary for binding and texture.
- Use a metal loaf pan: Silicone pans don’t conduct heat in the same way and won’t achieve the best toasty, crisp outer texture. Also, note this bread doesn’t rise much, so the smaller the pan, the taller the loaf.
- Allow to cool completely: The oats and seeds mixture will fully set while cooling but are still sticky directly from the oven- so it’s important to leave it until fully cooled before slicing the loaf.
