Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ground flaxseed
- 5 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.333 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 8x4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even mixture.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re frothy. Add the water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar, then mix until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to form a thick batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
