Make the Bread

In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, sesame seeds, buckwheat flour, oats, fine sea salt, and 3 tablespoons of the Everything Bagel Seasoning. Add maple syrup, olive oil, and water. Stir until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to soak.
½ cup pumpkin seeds, ½ cup sunflower seeds, ¼ cup ground flaxseed, ¼ cup chia seeds, ¼ cup sesame seeds, ⅓ cup buckwheat flour, 1½ cups certified gluten-free rolled oats, 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt, ¼ cup Everything-Bagel Seasoning, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1½ cups water
Preheat oven to 325° F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Remove soaked mixture from refrigerator. Stir in eggs until fully incorporated. Sprinkle baking soda evenly over the mixture. Add apple cider vinegar (it will fizz) and immediately stir thoroughly to combine.
2 eggs, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Transfer dough to prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning over the top. Add flaky sea salt if desired.
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt, ¼ cup Everything-Bagel Seasoning
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Loosely tent with foil to prevent over-browning and bake an additional 50–60 minutes, or until golden brown, firm to the touch, and internal temperature reaches about 200°F.
Cool in pan for 30 minutes. Lift out using parchment and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Sunflower seeds contain a natural compound that reacts with baking soda and heat, sometimes turning them greenish-blue. They're safe to eat, but you can keep them from changing color by toasting them before using.

Soaking the seeds improves texture and digestibility while neutralizing "antinutrients" like phytic acid and making beneficial nutrients more bioavailable.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, refrigerate for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
