Flourless Flax Seed Bread

Flourless Flax Seed Bread is a great substitute for those wanting to get a healthier-than-bread, bread-fix. This recipe is a little easier to work with than just flax and water recipes, because the eggs and oil give some bounce. Plus, you still get many benefits of flax including vitamins, minerals, proteins, fiber and phytoestrogen lignans. You don’t get the Omega 3 once it’s cooked but you you can always add some pasture-raised cultured butter or pumpkin seed butter once it’s out of the oven! So delicious!

Flavor Suggestions:

  • Make it savory with 1/2 teaspoon of cumin or dill seeds (lightly toast stove top or in toaster oven)
  • Add a big pinch of cinnamon, ginger and drop of vanilla to it for a little sweeter palate. With the apple sauce instead of the oil, it’s a detox-friendly coffee cake.
