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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the egg, water, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together with a fork until a smooth batter forms.
Step 3
Tap the container gently on the countertop to level out the batter, ensuring even cooking in the microwave.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Carefully remove the container from the microwave (it will be hot!) and allow the bread to cool slightly before handling.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
