Recipe: Wheat Free Low Carb Flax Bread
Category: Breads

Description: This bread is similar in size and shape to focaccia bread and is packed with flaxmeal fiber. I cut the loaf into 16 small pieces and use 1 toasted piece, sliced in half width wise and spread with almond butter to eat with the majority of my supplements. 1/16th of the recipe should supply:
131 cal 10g flaxseed fat
0.69 NET CARBS 8g fiber
You can cut the pieces into larger regular bread-sized pieces and have a sandwich!

Ingredients:
2 cups flax meal
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1-1/4 cup Egg Beaters [or eggs]
1/2 cup water

Preparation:
Whisk dry ingredients together; add wet ingredients and mix well. Let batter sit for 3 minutes. Use silpat non-stick pad on large baking sheet. Spread bread dough into a large oval in the middle of the pan, spreading dough to approximately 1" thick. Bake 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

PECAN COFFEE CAKE FLAX BREAD

(original recipe developed by Laura Dolson) I modified this to make it a sweet morning coffee cake; so far everyone really likes it. Best made with golden flax seeds.

Mix Dry Ingredients Together:

2 cups ground flax seeds
1 TBSP baking powder (use 1 TBSP + 1 teas if using Rumford non-aluminum)
½ cup erythritol sugar free sweetener or Splenda
1.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

These next spices are optional, but I like them in this recipe:
¼ teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon cloves


Mix Liquid Ingredients Together:

5 large eggs, beaten
½ cup water
1 TBSP oil (olive, coconut oil, or butter or what oil have on hand)


Important: use a pan with some sides, like a 10 x 15 jelly pan, oil with olive oil or
can use oiled parchment paper. I use a big 10 by 13 glass baking dish, oiled.

ADD: wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well by hand

Let this mixed batter sit for 2-3 minutes (the baking soda starts working and it thickens up
and grows a bit). Not longer though or it will get too hard to spread in the pan.

Pour the batter over the pan and spread with oiled spatula.

TOPPINGS:
Good with ¾ to 1 cup of chopped pecans,
mixed with 2 TBSP erythritol or Splenda
and 1 teaspoon cinnamon
After sprinkling the above mixture on the top, can also sprinkle some unsweetened coconut. The white flakes add a bit of flavor and make it look better and more inviting.

BAKE: 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top springs back a bit and the bread is getting browned on top.


Nutritional Information:
The WHOLE RECIPE recipe has 8.4 net carbs, and if cut into 12 pieces each piece has less than 1 gram of effective carbohydrates (.7 grams by her calculation) plus 5 grams fiber, 6 grams protein and 185 calories. I use the 10 x 13 glass dish and cut this into 15 pieces.
