Grandma’s Whole Wheat Sunflower Honey Oatmeal Bread

My Grandma just so happens to be one of the best people in my life. She’s gracious, warm, funny and lights up a room with her unique soul.

She also is 80, does Zumba and line dancing, still gardens at 6am and apparently goes down waterslides face first. Gotta love her.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or regular milk)
• 3 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons melted butter (melted coconut oil will also work)
• 2 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour, plus more if necessary
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• Extra oats, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds, for sprinkling on top

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat milk in a small sauce pan over low heat until milk is warm (about 115 degrees F). Remove from pan, stir in oats, yeast and honey. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until yeast begins to foam. Next, stir in melted butter (or oil). Add in whole wheat flour, salt and cinnamon and mix with a spoon until a dough begins to form. Add in sunflower and flaxseed meal and gently mix into the dough. Place dough onto a well-floured surface and knead the dough with your hands for 8-10 minutes. Another option is to use the dough hook on your electric mixer to knead the dough (I prefer this method). Form dough into a ball and place in a large, oil-or butter greased bowl, turning the dough over to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel and allow the dough to rise for a little over an hour, or until doubled in size.
