Maca and chia seed bread

Ten minutes and a one-bowl wonder, there's barely any effort involved in making this bread. It looks and tastes amazing, especially when spread with some nut butter or homemade jam. If you don't have maca, simply replace with any kind of flour such as buckwheat, coconut or almond flour.
