Preheat the oven to 160°C. Soak the chia seeds in ½ cup of water until they double in size. Add the quinoa to a processor along with the soaked chia, and ½ cup of water, olive oil, baking soda, salt, and lemon juice. Process until a paste-like mixture is formed for 3 minutes. Gradually add the amaranth flour until completely integrated. Line a mold with parchment paper and spray with oil. Pour the mixture into the mold and distribute evenly, top with sunflower seeds and bake for 1 hour, approximately. It should be golden on the outside and slightly moist on the inside. Remove from the mold and let cool.
