Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Golden flaxseed meal
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by selecting a microwave-safe coffee cup or small bowl. Lightly grease the inside with a small amount of olive oil, butter, or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
In the prepared coffee cup, add the golden flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together with a fork for even distribution.
Crack the egg into the cup. Add the olive oil (or melted butter) and water. Stir the mixture thoroughly with a fork until fully combined and no clumps remain. The batter will resemble a thick pancake batter.
Place the coffee cup in the microwave. Cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check to see if the bread has set; if it still appears wet or undercooked at the center, microwave for an additional 15–30 seconds as needed. Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave’s wattage.
Once cooked, carefully remove the cup from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the bread cool for 1–2 minutes in the cup.
Using a butter knife, gently loosen the edges of the bread from the cup. Invert the cup onto a plate to release the bread.
Slice the bread horizontally if desired and enjoy it plain, with butter, or topped with your favorite spreads. It can also be toasted for added texture.
