This easy and healthy flaxseed bread uses low carb ingredients like flax seeds, eggs and spices for a tasty and fluffy bread alternative.
I first found this recipe through the Hemsley sisters (you can check out their original recipe HERE). I tested this out and really liked the texture and was surprised how “bread-like” the consistency was.
However, I adjusted the original recipe to not include sugar (I found it wasn’t necessary and would make this a bit more in line with weight loss goals).
Enjoy this light and fluffy flaxseed bread recipe!

Homemade Flaxseed Bread
Light, fluffy and so much more satisfying than regular bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pinch black pepper
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons grass-fed butter melted
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flax seeds, baking soda, sea salt, pepper, thyme and garlic in a bowl.
- Add the eggs, melted butter, apple cider vinegar and water. Let this rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
- Scoop out 4-5 Tbsp. of batter and form into a "patty", then place on the baking sheet. Continue this until all batter is used. Optional to sprinkle with sesame seeds at this point.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes and allow to cool before using. Slice the "bread" in half and use as a bun or bread replacement.
Notes
I’ve used this for break-fast sandwiches, egg/avo toast and as the base to a typical chicken sandwich
