Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Add the Topping: Sprinkle the black sesame seeds, sesame seeds, toasted sunflower seeds, and toasted pumpkin seeds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
