I have a new obsession.... Flaxseeds! I have been talking about them for a while and their health benefits including high protein, high fiber, high in omega fats and I will add another less talked about amazing characteristic of flaxseeds. They are extremely versatile. For breakfast this morning I quickly whipped up some flax bread to go with my farm eggs (see 6-22-13 post). What is flax bread you ask? Well since I am now gluten and dairy free I have felt better and my obsessive issues with my Greek yogurt have come to a screeching halt. I was mixing flax seeds, chia seeds and cinnamon into my daily Greek yogurt but honestly I have problems stopping at 1 serving of that delightful mix. So giving it up for a while has been good for me. I came up with flax bread because I don't want 1 drop, 1 tiny speck of that golden egg yolk to go to waste. Here's what I did to make a 60 calorie, 4 grams protein, 4 grams of fiber flax bread:
2 Tablespoons of ground flaxseeds
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash (I used onion and herb)
3/4 to 1 Tablespoon water
Mix all ingredients well and form into small patty on an already hot non stick pan. Press down firmly using the back of a spatula until the bread is about 1/4" thick. Cook 2 min per side or until toasted. Carefully remove from pan (its a bit delicate). Enjoy bikini style!
It's flavorful, gluten free, super healthy, satisfied my craving for salty/crispy and only takes a moment to prepare!
That's my flax bread under my gorgeous farm egg!
That's the Mrs. Dash I used. Yummy! I just made another batch and squirted a few tablespoons of sriracha sauce in the above flax bread recipe.... Added a great kick!
