Just made this, it is fantastic! So easy and really yummy.

This is one of my staple breakfasts. Cept i use a mixture of flaxmeal and almond meal and cook it in one of those small tupperware square containers (my mum used to use them as a butter dish). Anyways...turns out the size of a normal piece of bread and rises enough to let me slice it in two. And toasts up beautifully! I have the almond meal/flaxmeal mix (plus some whole flaxseed for the crunch factor) already made up in a snaplock bag in the freezer to save time in the mornings

Looks similar to this: quick almond bread

I've been making this a lot lately (thanks to Nat!) and have tweaked the recipe a bit.

It's so quick and easy to make, I make up a few batches and freeze the slices. Straight out of the freezer and into the toaster... a quick sandwich for lunch or great with bacon and eggs in the morning

Flax Bread:

1 1/2 tbspns coconut oil
1 tspn baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tspn mixed herbs (or cinnamon or allspice, if you don't want savoury)
2 tbspns flax meal (I grind mine fresh from flax seeds)



Whisk coconut oil together with the baking powder, then add the egg and whisk with a fork until frothy. Add the seasoning (anything you fancy!) and then the flax meal and whisk all together.

Pour into a small microwave safe container and nuke for 2 minutes on high (I use a 400ml ice cream container ~ see photo below).

Before I was doing the whole batch and then trying to slice it in two, but it's easier if you pour half the mix into the container and nuke it for a minute on high. Then do the other half.

Turn onto a wire rack to cool and then wrap in glad wrap and store in the freezer. Perfect slices every time!

Ive made it with a mix if flax + LSA...a little less grainy and way yummy!

How have I never seen this before?!?!

coz we all hid it from you *ducks*

flax come in a dark and a lighter one called Golden Linseed I think...

Mine turned out the same colour as yours Scribe. I loved it!

Yep, I'm using golden linseed, Cazza. I just zoom it up in the spice grinder attachment on my blender when I'm ready to make the bread.

It toasts beautifully and holds together fine.

Deena, mine isn't gritty at all, but maybe that's because I grind the flax very fine. I've heard you can mix the flax with LSA or almond meal. We can't get LSA here, but I can get blanched almonds.

Does anyone know if I grind up blanched almonds, would that make almond meal?

I'm thinking you could play around with this recipe quite a lot. Maybe grind up some nuts with the flax for a nutty bread. I want to try adding some finely crushed garlic with the herbs for a garlic bread. And maybe some dried fruit or raisins for a fruit bread (when I'm closer to goal!)

My favourite sandwich is a piece of flax bread with pepper crusted salami, fresh tomatoes and a soft cheese like babybel or camembert. Mmmmm!

ah thanx Scribe...that might be it and I do have a grinder I could use....I love it too except it doesnt love me it has the same reaction when I taken flax oil pills...I cant leave the house for fear of an accident...I must have a delicate system I pray to be constipated lol

I have been making a version this a bit lately to keep me on track and satisfy my bread cravings. I use 2 tblsp ground flax (linseed) either standard or golden is OK, 2 tblsp almond meal, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 egg. Microwave for 1 minute in a soup mug (wider than a coffee mug). Then I split it in half and either toast (add butter and vegemite) or add a slice of cheese and cook in the flat bed toaster thing at work.

YUM.

Thank you Kez I haven't seen this & will give it a go

I make up a bigger quantity of the dry ingredients in a smoothie shaker cup that has a whisk thingy inside and take it to work. Then I just measure out 4 tblsp and mix it with an egg - tada - ready to cook and toast. I have also heard that these can be baked in the oven with really good results - just not as quick.

They look a bit spongy if you don't toast them - depends on your own tastes. I think you can also sub LSA for the flax without any problems. I have been reading that flax meal is good for people with lupus - anti inflammatory and the special type of fibre is protective of kidneys (which is a target nasty area for lupus).

Thank you I need to get some more LSA - a good idea to put it in the shaker - there are some things that need toast with it - scrambled eggs & vegemite & melted cheese this is when I miss toast I'll give you my report
