I've got the flour sitting here but I haven't tried it yet either. Must try it soon, once I'm fully recovered from my Holiday Indulgences!

I figured out why it wasn't rising--I wasn't using enough water.

I made a peanut butter-filled muffin this morning...it was AWESOME! I used 1/4 cup flax seed and 1 egg (plus water and baking soda). Spooned half of the batter into a mug. Put a huge spoonful of peanut butter in it. Then covered with the rest of the batter. Microwave for 3 minutes. I ate it when i got to work and it was DELICIOUS!

If you're having troubles with rising check that your baking powder isn't old.

I can't wait to have a slice toasted with a poached egg in the morning! Thank you so much for the recipe!

Made this for the first time and WOW it is great. I cooked it in the oven and the texture is great. I added some davinci's cinnamon syrup. More of a banana loaf texture so I feel like I am cheating when I have a piece. Love it.

Absolutely great recipe, better than bread......

Wish i could make it rise more, I get 2 slices from mine.

But hey I am not complaining

Very tasty indeed!!!!

Cheers

I just made this but put it in a very large zip lock bag and it came out looking like a giant burrito...perfect technique for this recipe.

What a great idea!

I used the base recipe above and added, 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 tsp real vanilla flavoring, & 1/2 teaspoon of LC Twin Brown Sugar.

Oh man! Was this good! I want to eat the whole thing, but since I'm in the Induction Phase I can only have 3 tbsp per day (well heck...that is almost the whole thing...lol) anyway, I stuck to one slice. I melted a little extra butter and added some DaVinci Maple Flavor syrup to that and nuked that to soften butter and syrup together and poured that on top of the bread. Very yummy, but to tell the truth it was great without it too.

The only thing that would have been better is I should have only nuked it for 2:30 minutes instead of 3:00 minutes. 3 minutes is too long in my microwave, so next time 2:30 for me. Otherwise, really great recipe! Thanks!

I just made a version of this stuff that was real fun and induction friendly. See this post:

recently i have tried make this as a small loaf rather than muffin. i found that the microwave does not cook the loaf evenly...the end can turn out as hard as a rock while the middle is still a little gooy.

you think the oven will cook more evenly? should i add more water if i'm cooking in the oven--will it dry it out more? i'm going to try it, but if anyone has advice it might save me from ruining a loaf!

I would think the oven would cook a loaf shape more evenly than the microwave.

For microwave cooking of a large-ish amount nowadays I always use a round dish to help it cook better.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I made a loaf this morning and YUMMMMMY... I made a sandwich, a real sandwich .... I only have large eggs so I added 2 more Tbsp of the flax... I buttered a small glass dish and nuked it for 2 min 50 seconds... it was perfect... except that I did not know it would rise like that so my dish was a bit too shallow... it did not over flow, it folded into itself a wee bit.... next time I will use a deeper dish. It came out of the dish easy, sliced easy and toasted easy.... I then loaded it with turkey, mayo, mustard and swiss
cheese.... heavenly!!! I am sooooooo thrilled to have this!!!!

PS.... the dish I used is a glass pyrex (comes with a lid for fridge storage) and is a small rectangle shape, so the bread came out in a loaf shape. Again, next time I will use 1 size up in dishes. No issues with a gooey center or anything, the loaf was cooked right through.

I made this flax bread this weekend and this morning - IT IS AWESOME! I made it into the shape of a pita bread and buttered it up - just like toast! (I posted pics in my journal).


Thank you so much for posting this recipe


P.S. I'm going to use it as my base for eggs benedict for dinner tonight! Yum

Great to see so many people experimenting with shapes and coming up with something useful and yummmmy!!
