Bread (specifically peanut butter toast) is one of my favorite things to have for breakfast. That’s why I jumped at the opportunity to review the Oroweat Organic Quinoa & Sunflower Seed Loaf! This bread is made in British Columbia and uses sustainable baking processes, plus Oroweat has partnered with Tree Canada to support environmental and community initiatives in Western Canada – those are all nice bonuses in my opinion.
The Oroweat Organic Quinoa & Sunflower Seed Loaf is currently available in the bakery department at Costco, and you get two giant loves for $6.79 Canadian. That’s really reasonable for an organic loaf! After bringing the loaves home from Costco, I noticed that they made my kitchen smell amazing just sitting on the counter. The bread itself is delicious – it’s light, really soft and very fresh tasting. It’s perfect for someone who wants to eat healthy and organic and prefers a softer, less heavy bread than many of the other organic options out there. My favorite part is the quinoa and sunflower seeds that cover the crust of the bread. I tried the Oroweat Organic Quinoa & Sunflower Seed Loaf both toasted and just out of the bag, and both ways tasted great. I think it would make great sandwiches.
Oroweat has a pretty delicious recipe for a “Next Level Nut-Free PB & J”, which is school-safe so kids can bring it for lunch!
Next Level Nut-Free PB & J Recipe (recipe credit – Stephanie Dang)
Ingredients:
- Two slices of Quinoa & Sunflower Seeds Oroweat Organic Bread
- 3 tbsp sunflower seed butter

- ¼ sliced banana
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts
Directions:
- Put blackberries in a small bowl and mash with a fork.
- Spread sunflower seed butter on one slice of Oroweat bread. Spread mashed blackberries on the other slice.
- Assemble banana slices on the sunflower butter side.
- Sprinkle hemp hearts onto the blackberry jam side.
- Assemble the sandwich and enjoy!
Two slices of bread contains 210 calories, four grams of fat, 34 grams of carbohydrates, four grams of fibre, three grams of sugar, nine grams of protein and 300 milligrams of sodium. I like how much protein this bread has! It’s also plant-based, non-GMO certified and doesn’t have any artificial ingredients, preservatives, colors or bleached flour.
If you’re a bread fan like I am and appreciate a softer bread that’s organic and full of healthy ingredients, you should check out the Oroweat Organic Quinoa & Sunflower Seed Loaf – available now at Costco!

Looks like great healthy bread , will definitely try
I’ve only baked 5 loaves of bread. If I count banana bread though… I’m going to Costco this morning so I’ll grab some of this bread today. Sounds delicious!!!
Probably 10 loaves!
I have not baked any bread but I sure have eaten a lot of it!
Too many to count, anywhere from 2 – 6 per week on average (we eat a lot of bread)
Zero! I just buy bread from Costco. Though I do have an excellent no knead recipe I should try again.
Tried making buns but failed horribly. I’m scared to try to bake a loaf of bread but I miss that taste and smell only fresh baked bread gives. Maybe I’ll have to try over the long weekend
I have only baked a couple of loaves. Still no time!
I have baked about 4-5 banana loaves (with 1/2 of the sugar requested in the recipe….but I added chocolate chips). yum yum 🙂
I’m not a very good making bread …..but I do use a breadmaker. Since March I’ve used it only a hand full of times.
Always buy bread, bake everything else like muffins and loafs
Just 2 banana bread loaves.
Maybe 5 or 6 loaves
I haven’t baked any bread. I prefer to buy it.
Couple loafs per week…..
At least 2 to 3 loaves per week.
I’ve made more than I can count, but actually buy this bread now because it’s SO good and healthy!!!! And best, everyone in the family loves it!
I didn’t bake any, just kept buying from Costco!
0. I buy my bread at Costco.
I’ve baked a few banana loaves and a lot of croissants!!!
I’ve used up 10 kg bag of flour which is a first for me! Finally getting the hang of it and most loaves turning out well, but it’s always so nice to just buy a loaf that’s extraordinarily easy and delicious!,
2 loaves!
Oroweat makes very tasty bread!
I have made about 6 loaves of bread. But I didn’t get on the sourdough bandwagon.
I have baked many loaves of banana and zucchini bread. Thank you for this awesome contest and chance to win this AMAZING GENEROUS PRIZE!!
Looks delicious
We are a family of 7, every week we baked bread. Well over 20 loaves. Now that things are sorta back to normal we go through at least 2 loaves a week.
Look forward to having the opportunity to taste this new bread
I have not baked one loaf!
