Once you’ve eaten this seed-packed loaf as toast for breakfast you’ll find it difficult to go back to the tasteless, refined cardboard that the shops call sliced bread.  It’s partly the taste, and partly the pleasure you get from filling your body with gorgeously nutrient-rich ingredients first thing in the morning.  You just feel better for it!

This recipe is a result of trying and adapting many of the healthy bread recipes out there – like oh she glows, elena’s pantry, or my new roots. Many people insist you need to add psyllium to make the loaf hold together but I don’t like the bitter taste it adds, so this recipe is purely nuts and seeds with classic goji berries and additional walnuts. Its so delicious toasted, and it holds together just fine. One tip is to invest in a good 1lb bread tin. It’s the difference between a successful loaf, and one that stays stuck in the tin.

If you keep to the basic ingredients, you can then swap the same amount of goji berries and walnuts for whatever you like. I often make this loaf with cranberries and hazelnuts – delicious toasted for breakfast, or heavenly served with hummus, roasted vegetables & watercress salad as a light lunch.
