Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) milk (any kind, dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
2 tablespoons flax seeds
2 tablespoons psyllium husk
1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for a fluffier rise)
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:Baked Goods
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. If you’re using plant-based milk, choose a non-sweetened variety for the best results.
Add the flax seeds, psyllium husk, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir well to combine. The psyllium husk will absorb liquid and thicken the batter quickly, so keep stirring until smooth.
Transfer to a Jar:
Pour the mixture into a small glass jar or baking dish. Ensure the jar is only about halfway full, as the bread will rise during baking.Food
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the jar or dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden and firm to the touch.
Cool and Slice:
Allow the bread to cool in the jar for a few minutes, then carefully slice it into pieces.
Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like butter, avocado, or cheese. It’s perfect for sandwiches or as a side to soups and salads.Dairy & Eggs
Notes & Tips:
No Jar?: If you don’t have a jar, you can bake this bread in any small baking dish or even a muffin tin for individual servings.
Flax Seeds: Flax seeds add a nice nutty flavor and are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can grind the flax seeds before using them.
Psyllium Husk: Psyllium husk is key to giving the bread structure and a slightly chewy texture. It also helps to bind the ingredients together in place of gluten.
Baking Powder: If you want the bread to be fluffier, use the baking powder. If you prefer a denser, more compact texture, you can omit it.
Sweet or Savory: You can add herbs or spices to the bread for a savory flavor, or add a touch of vanilla or cinnamon for a sweeter version.Cheese
