Ingredients

  • ¾ cup / 80 g coconut flour
  • ½ cup / 60 g ground flaxseed / flax meal
  • 3 eggs large, room temperature
  • 3 egg whites large
  • 5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4.7 oz / 140 ml / water (10 tbsp)
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 356 Fahrenheit. 
  2. Whisk the eggs and egg whites with an electric mixer or in a food processor until foamy. 
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until you have a smooth dough. 
  4. Let the dough sit for a few minutes so the coconut flour and flax can absorb the moisture. 
  5. Pour the mix into a well-oiled pan (alternatively, line a pan with baking paper) and bake at 180 Celsius / 356 Fahrenheit for 35 minutes or until browned on top. It's ready when a knife inserted comes out clean.  
  6. If you prefer to bake as a loaf, increase the time in the oven by 10 minutes. 

Notes

  • 2g net carbs per portion. Nutrition is calculated based on 8 portions (when I cut the focaccia flaxseed bread into squares).
  • These portions are generous! The loaf I made on day 2 yielded 20 slices. 
  • I baked my bread Focaccia-style in a 25x15 cm casserole dish. Next time, I will line it with baking paper to be able to take it out easier. 
  • When you make flaxseed muffins with this recipe, the oven time reduces to 25-30 minutes.  
  • When I made the loaf, I used a silicone loaf mould - they are brilliant! SO much better than the regular tin pans. Nothing EVER gets stuck in a silicone mould. It will change your (bread baking) life!! 
  • The bread freezes well.
