Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 and 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan. Smooth the top gently with a spatula.
  5. Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top if using and press them in lightly.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Let the loaf rest after baking to avoid gummy texture.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Press seeds slightly into the batter so they stay in place after baking.
