Oh nice choice—flaxseed bread is hearty, nutty, and super satisfying (plus naturally high in fiber and omega-3s). Here’s a simple, reliable recipe you can make at home.
Flaxseed Bread
Makes: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Optional add-ins: sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a small loaf pan.
- Mix dry ingredients: ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: eggs, water, oil, and honey (if using).
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until thick and well blended.
- Pour batter into loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle seeds on top if desired.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until firm and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely before slicing (important for structure).
Tips
- Use freshly ground flaxseed if possible for best flavor.
- Let bread cool fully—it firms up as it sets.
- Store in the fridge up to 5 days, or freeze slices for later.
