Flaxseed Mug Bread

  • Prep time: 2 minutes

  • Cook time: 90 seconds

  • Servings: 1 mini loaf

Ingredients

  • Ground Flaxseed Meal: 1/4 cup (golden flaxseed gives a milder flavor and lighter color like the photo)

  • Baking Powder: 1/2 teaspoon

  • Salt: A pinch

  • Egg: 1 large

  • Melted Butter or Coconut Oil: 1 teaspoon (optional, for extra moisture)

  • Water or Unsweetened Almond Milk: 1 tablespoon

  • Whole Flaxseeds: 1 teaspoon (for texture and topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry: In a small microwave-safe ramekin or mug, whisk together the flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, and whole flaxseeds.

  2. Add Wet: Add the egg, melted butter/oil, and water. Stir thoroughly with a fork until no dry clumps remain.

  3. Microwave: Cook on high for 90 seconds. The top should be firm and spring back when touched.

  4. Cool & Slice: Let it sit for 1 minute before sliding a knife around the edges to pop it out. Once cool, slice it into rounds as shown in your image.

  5. Optional Toasting: For the best texture, lightly toast the slices in a pan with a little butter or in a toaster oven until the edges are golden brown.
