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
-
Mix Dry: In a small microwave-safe ramekin or mug, whisk together the flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, and whole flaxseeds.
-
Add Wet: Add the egg, melted butter/oil, and water. Stir thoroughly with a fork until no dry clumps remain.
-
Microwave: Cook on high for 90 seconds. The top should be firm and spring back when touched.
-
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.
-
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.
