Chef Tatiana Iglesias' Gluten-Free Super Seed Bread

About the Dish

Valentine’s Day is a beautiful reminder to cherish the people we hold closest to our hearts—whether it’s a partner, a friend, or the greatest love of all, our children. Food has a magical way of connecting us and expressing feelings that words sometimes can’t capture. Sharing a meal or a special treat can be a simple but powerful way to say, I love you!

 

For me, celebrating love means creating heartfelt moments with my son, Matías. This year, we’ll be baking a nourishing and delicious Gluten-Free Seed Bread — a warm hug in loaf form! Perfect for making sandwiches, toast, or enjoying a simple slice with a bit of butter and honey. It’s packed with healthy seeds and full of love.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  2. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, almond flour, flaxseeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, salt, and baking powder.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra seeds on top for a beautiful finish.

  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

 

Enjoy this bread with your loved ones, knowing every slice is made with care, connection, and the joy of togetherness. Happy Valentine’s Day!
