This delicious flax bread recipe is easy to make and tastes great. It's also grain free, gluten free, dairy free, paleo and keto friendly! This easy recipe was inspired by Maureen Keegan, and I am so glad she shared it with us. I usually double the recipe so that I have bread all week for sandwiches, as a side for soups or for morning avocado toast.
In the bowl of a food processor or mixer that you will eventually mix everything in add the flax meal and water. Do this first and allow it to soak.
While the water and flax meal are soaking, add the dry ingredients to a separate bowl. Mix together the protein powder, husk powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
In the same bowl as the soaked flax meal, add the eggs, apple cider vinegar, and tahini or nut butter.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
The dough will be very sticky and come together in a ball. Spoon into a greased loaf pan lined with parchment paper. If you want a smoother top crust, wet your hands and pat the top of the loaf smooth. I sprinkled my loaf with sesame seeds!
Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes.
Notes
This recipe makes one loaf, but usually, I double it so I have two loaves for the week! Experiment and add mix-ins like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a crunchier texture bread. This recipe is very forgiving so go ahead and play with ingredients and add-ins that you love.If you liked this recipe, pair with my Easy Vegan Gazpacho or Paleo Clam Chowder.
