👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Prepare the broccoli
Finely chop the florets using a grater or food processor.
💡Use fresh broccoli for best flavour and texture – frozen can add too much moisture.
Step 2: Mix the ingredients
Add eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper to the broccoli and stir thoroughly.
💡Let the batter rest for 5 minutes – it helps the flour absorb moisture better.
Step 3: Line your baking tin
Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
💡Don’t skip the paper – it guarantees easy removal without breaking the loaf.
Step 4: Transfer the batter
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
💡A silicone spatula helps spread it evenly without mess.
Step 5: Add the topping
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the surface before baking.
💡You can also add sunflower seeds, sesame, or flax for extra crunch.
Step 6: Preheat your oven
Set it to 190°C (375°F) to ensure an even bake.
💡Always preheat – it prevents the base from becoming soggy.
Step 7: Bake the loaf
Place in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes until golden.
💡Pierce with a toothpick – it should come out dry when done.
Step 8: Cool before slicing
Let it cool slightly to firm up before cutting.
💡Cooling improves texture and flavour – don’t rush!
Step 9: Slice and serve
Use a serrated knife for clean cuts and serve warm or cold.
💡Pairs beautifully with cream cheese or avocado spread.
Step 10: Store the leftovers
Wrap in foil or keep in an airtight box in the fridge.
💡It stays fresh for days – just toast it to revive the crust.
