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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once cooked, carefully remove the cup from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the bread cool for 1–2 minutes in the cup.
Step 6
Using a butter knife, gently loosen the edges of the bread from the cup. Invert the cup onto a plate to release the bread.
Step 7
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.
