Ingredients Needed
For the Seeded Bread
- 2 cups mixed seeds (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese

How to Make Our High-Protein Seeded Jar Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Combine the mixed seeds, baking soda, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the eggs and Greek yogurt together in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the seed mixture and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. The chia and flaxseeds will begin absorbing moisture, creating a thicker batter.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the loaf feels firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve once fully cooled for the best texture.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, slice and freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Toast directly from frozen for a quick breakfast or snack.
This seeded bread is delicious topped with avocado, nut butter, cottage cheese, smoked salmon, or eggs for an extra high-protein meal.
Tips & FAQs
Can I make this bread dairy-free?
Yes. Replace the Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with a thick unsweetened almond or coconut yogurt.
Why let the batter rest before baking?
The flaxseeds and chia seeds absorb moisture and help bind the loaf together, improving texture.
Can I add more protein?
Absolutely. Add 2 tablespoons hemp hearts, 1 scoop unflavored protein powder, or use cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt.
Is this bread keto-friendly?
Yes. The ingredients are naturally low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats and fiber.
Why is my bread crumbly?
Make sure the batter is thoroughly mixed and allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.
