Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Combine the dry ingredients, up to and including salt, in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined.
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ tsp baking soda, ¾ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp ground flax seeds, ¼ tsp salt
In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the remaining ingredients, except the toppings. Using a whisk or the whisk attachment on your stand mixer, mix everything until well combined.
2 eggs, ¼ cup neutral oil, ½ cup kefir, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tbsp chia seeds, ¾ cup pumpkin puree
Now begin to add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, in three parts. Mixing in between just to blend everything together. Do not overmix.
Next, line or grease a loaf pan and pour in the batter spreading it into a relatively even layer.
Top with the pumpkin seeds and/or sunflower seeds if you choose to do so. You can also use salad topper if you would like to add a hint of sweetness with the dried cranberries.
½ tbsp sunflower seeds, ½ tbsp pumpkin seeds, cooking spray
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Serve on its own, with butter or as a side to your favourite soup or salad.
