- 2 cups almond meal
- 1/2 cup LSA or ground flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup crushed almonds
- 1/4 cu[p psyllium husk
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C (160 deg fan-forced)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
- Whisk all wet ingredients together in measuring cup.
- Slowly add wet mixture to dry, stirring until well combined. If the batter is too wet, add extra almond meal. If too dry add more almond milk.
- Lightly oil a standard loaf tin (21cm x 11cm) with coconut oil, then coat liberally with extra almond meal to prevent it from sticking. Spoon batter into tin and place in preheated oven.
