Equipment

1 Mixing bowls (small and large)
1 Measuring cups and spoons
1 Loaf pan
Oven

Ingredients

1 cup chia seeds
½ cup water
1 cup gluten-free flour blend
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoon coconut oil melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This will serve as a binder for the bread.
In another mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil over low heat until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Gently fold in the chia seed gel.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a fluffier texture, you can beat the wet ingredients separately before adding them to the dry ingredients.
This bread also freezes well - just slice it and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw slices as needed in the toaster or microwave.
