Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Water
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil (or melted butter/coconut oil)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl or container (about 4 to 5 inches wide), combine the flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the egg, water, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together with a fork until a smooth batter forms.
Tap the container gently on the countertop to level out the batter, ensuring even cooking in the microwave.
Microwave the batter on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the bread has set and is cooked through. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's strength, so check for doneness after 90 seconds.
Carefully remove the container from the microwave (it will be hot!) and allow the bread to cool slightly before handling.
Run a knife or spatula around the edges of the container to release the bread. Turn it out onto a plate and slice it in half horizontally to create two sandwich-sized pieces.
Use immediately for a sandwich or your desired preparation, or store the bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
