Let’s Bake:
Step 1
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix all the seeds, nuts, oats, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Step 2
Combine the white beans, water, and vegetable oil in a blender, and blend until a smooth mixture forms. This blend adds moisture and binding power to the bread mixture.
Step 3
Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the bean mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick but manageable.
Step 4
Prepare Jars: Grease the interior of wide-neck jars with a small amount of oil to ease removal after baking. Fill each jar about two-thirds full with the batter using a spoon.
Step 5
Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C. After letting the filled jars sit for 20 minutes, place them in the oven and bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Step 6
Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool before removing it from the jars. A wide neck makes extraction effortless, but if needed, gently loosen the edges with a knife.
