Low Carb Seedy Bread is based on a recipe from NZ Herald Bite magazine. It is a very well 'plagiarised' recipe apparently! I have named it Low Carb Seedy Bread, it's just really seedy, easy and nutritious!!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Sunflower seeds
- ¾ cup Pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup linseed/flaxseed (whole)
- 2 tbsp Chia seeds
- ¼ cup LSA (ground linseed/sunflower/almond)
- ¼ cup Psyllium husk
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- ¼ cup water
- 4 eggs
- salt/pepper
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. When ingredients are well combined, leave to sit for 20 minutes to allow seed mix to absorb moisture. Pour mixture into a loaf tin and bake at 170 degrees C for around 20 mins until firm and slightly browned on top. Cool, slice, eat!!

Looks great
Newcomer to your site, 6+ years as a low carb eater. Love trying new things — this bread is a must try for me with weekend! I can just imagine it spread with cream cheese for breakfast 🙂
It has become a staple for me. I do love the crackers but fin the seed bread easier to make!!
I made this bread 2x and loved it! The last time I chopped the seeds a bit and it tastes even better! thanks for sharing this great recipe!
Could I substitute psyllium husks powder? Here in the USA, we call linseeds by another name, flaxseeds. My 2nd question is about the LSA. Is it a mixture of flaxseed, sunflower seeds and almonds in equal portions, then ground up or is it 1/4 cup of each? I want to try making this as soon as I have your answers. Thanks!
Apologies for the late response Maria. I have made made this bread without psyllium husks before, and it was ok but a bit harder than if you cook with this ingredient. Yes LSA is a mixture of ground Linseed (flaxseed, sunflower seed and almond meal). A total of 1/4 cup combined. If you only have almond meal or flaxseed, that will suffice for LSA.
Thanks

This bread has become part of my breakfast repertoire too. I love to thick slice it, toast it, then top it with chopped and seasoned avocado.
Would it rise by adding baking powder to it?
Recipe is very tempting, indeed!
This looks yum 👌🏻
