Introduction
There’s something deeply comforting about baking your own bread—especially when it’s the kind of bread you can feel good about eating every day. The first time I made Greek Yogurt Seed Bread (Gluten Free), I wasn’t trying to recreate a bakery-style loaf or impress anyone with fancy techniques. I just wanted a sturdy, nourishing bread that could handle avocado, eggs, nut butter, and the occasional toast-and-jam moment without falling apart.
What came out of the oven was everything I hoped for and more: a dense yet tender loaf with a lightly tangy flavor from Greek yogurt, a satisfying crunch from seeds, and slices that actually hold up. No crumbling. No dryness. Just wholesome, sliceable goodness.
That’s exactly why Greek Yogurt Seed Bread (Gluten Free) has become so popular. It’s:
- Naturally gluten free
- Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats
- Easy to make (no yeast, no kneading)
- Perfect for sweet or savory toppings
If you’ve been searching for a gluten-free bread that feels hearty, filling, and versatile, this recipe might just become your new go-to.

Step-by-Step Instructions
This is a true mix-and-bake recipe—perfect even if you’re new to gluten-free baking.
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Tip: Parchment paper makes lifting the bread out much easier.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Greek yogurt
- Eggs
- Olive oil
Whisk until smooth and creamy. The yogurt gives this bread moisture and a subtle tang.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add to the bowl:
- Oat flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
Mix until just combined. The batter will be thick—this is exactly what you want.
Step 4: Fold in the Seeds
Gently fold in your mixed seeds, reserving a small handful for topping the loaf.
The seeds provide structure, crunch, and that hearty bread feel that gluten-free loaves often lack.
Step 5: Transfer and Top
Spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Sprinkle the reserved seeds evenly over the surface.
Lightly press them in so they stick.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until:
- The top is golden and firm
- A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- The loaf sounds slightly hollow when tapped
If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Step 7: Cool Completely
This step is crucial. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool completely before slicing.
Gluten-free bread firms up as it cools—slicing too early can cause crumbling.
