How to Make Incredible High Protein Low Carb Flax Snacking Bread
The best part of this recipe is how simple it is.
First, blend the wet ingredients until smooth and creamy. Then add the dry ingredients and pulse until combined. Let the batter sit briefly so the flax and psyllium can absorb moisture and thicken.
Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake until golden, domed, and fully set. Let it cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
Substitution Options
This recipe is flexible and easy to adapt.
- Use low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
- Use avocado oil or olive oil
- Swap almond flour for sunflower seed flour for a nut-free option
- Add cinnamon
- Add garlic powder or herbs for a savory loaf
Storage
Store slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, freeze slices individually and toast straight from frozen. This is one of the best ways to meal prep it.
