Ingredientes
- 2 tazas de avena en hojuelas (usa avena sin gluten si es necesario)
- 3 cucharadas de semillas de chía
- 1 cucharadita de polvo de hornear
- ½ cucharadita de sal
- 2 huevos
- 1 taza de agua o leche vegetal
- 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva o de coco
- Toppings opcionales: semillas de girasol, semillas de calabaza o frutos secos picados
Instrucciones
1. Precalienta el Horno
Precalienta tu horno a 180°C (350°F) para que esté listo cuando termines de preparar la mezcla.
2. Mezcla los Ingredientes Secos
En un bol grande, combina la avena, las semillas de chía, el polvo de hornear y la sal. Remueve para distribuir bien los ingredientes.
3. Prepara el Gel de Chía
En un bol pequeño, mezcla las semillas de chía con el agua o la leche vegetal y deja reposar durante 5-10 minutos hasta que obtenga una consistencia parecida a un gel. Esto ayuda a unir los ingredientes.
4. Mezcla los Ingredientes Húmedos
En otro bol, bate los huevos y agrega el aceite de oliva o el aceite de coco derretido. Añade esta mezcla a los ingredientes secos junto con el gel de chía.
5. Combina los Ingredientes
Mezcla bien hasta obtener una masa suave y homogénea. Si la masa parece demasiado seca, agrega un poco más de agua o leche vegetal, una cucharada a la vez.
6. Prepara el Molde para Hornear
Engrasa un molde para pan o cúbrelo con papel pergamino. Vierte la mezcla en el molde y extiéndela de manera uniforme. Si lo deseas, espolvorea semillas de girasol, semillas de calabaza o frutos secos picados por encima para más textura y sabor.
7. Hornea el Pan
Coloca el molde en el horno precalentado y hornea durante 40-45 minutos, o hasta que al insertar un palillo en el centro, salga limpio.
8. Enfría y Sirve
Saca el pan del horno y deja que se enfríe en el molde durante unos 10 minutos. Luego, transfiérelo a una rejilla para que se enfríe completamente antes de cortar y servir.
Consejos
- Conservación: Guarda el pan en un recipiente hermético a temperatura ambiente durante hasta 3 días o refrigéralo por hasta una semana. También se congela bien; córtalo antes de congelar para descongelarlo fácilmente.
- Variaciones de sabor: Agrega canela, nuez moscada o un toque de miel para una versión dulce. Para variaciones saladas, mezcla en polvo de ajo, hierbas secas o queso rallado.
- Sugerencias de presentación: Disfruta con aguacate, mantequilla de frutos secos o tu mermelada favorita.
Este pan de avena y chía sin harina es una forma nutritiva y deliciosa de disfrutar pan casero. Fácil de hacer, es perfecto para cualquier ocasión. ¡Disfrútalo! 😊
