I adapted this recipe from http://www.blogilates.com/blog/2011/03/09/no-carb-bread/. If you want a bread that is very low in carbs and gluten free, then this is the loaf for you since flaxseed is low in carbs and also has a high omega 3 fatty acid content (33 times higher than wheat germ). The fibre content is high too. The joy of flax! It tastes like a wholewheat loaf and I love it toasted, slathered in butter. I usually toast this under the oven grill rather than in the toaster because it makes a moist loaf and is a challenge to get out of toaster!
This is very low in carbs (about 1 net carb per slice) and is also gluten free. A great way to enjoy flaxseed in your diet.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups golden ground flax seed
5 eggs separated
5 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
