Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients: ...
3 large eggs (165 grams)
1/4 cup white chia seeds, ground if possible for a lighter loaf
2 teaspoons unfiltered apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Dry Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups almond meal, or a bit more if needed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon unprocessed salt
Optional sweetener such as 3 tablespoons Just Like Sugar Table Top natural chicory root sweetener, or 1 1/2 teaspoons PureLo Lo Han Sweetener by Swanson, or 2 tablespoons raw honey, or your favorite sweetener.
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons nutritional yeast, optional for buttery taste
Handful pumpkin seeds to sprinkle on top of bread
Instructions
1.Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2.Crack the eggs into a food processor or mixing bowl. Stir in the chia seeds, vinegar, and coconut oil. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes to thicken.
3.In a separate mixing bowl mix together the dry ingredients: almond meal, baking soda, salt, sweetener, caraway seeds, pumpkin seeds, and nutritional yeast, if using.
4.Put the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well. If the dough seems too loose, stir in a bit more almond meal until the dough is the texture of thick cooked oatmeal.
5.Flour your hands well with almond meal. Roll the dough into a smooth ball and place on the baking tray.
6.Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before slicing.
Variation: Irish Soda Bread with Green Onions:
7.Add 1/2 cup chopped spring onion greens to the batter just before baking. Pulse them in, or fold them into the dough. Then bake as directed.
