Flaxseed Bread

Sometimes the healthiest recipes are the ones made with the fewest ingredients. I first started making this Flaxseed Bread in 2023, right around the time I began my journey toward eating healthier and more plant-based. Becoming vegan completely changed how I look at food — I started focusing more on simple, natural ingredients that make me feel good and energized every day.

One of the first things I picked up on my new healthy-eating routine was a large bag of Webber Naturals Organic Flaxseed Powder from Costco. The bag caught my eye because it said “source of fibre” and “gluten-free,” and I knew flaxseed was packed with protein and nutrients. I decided to experiment and make my very own flatbread using only flaxseed powder and warm water — nothing else!

It turned out to be much easier than I expected. I mixed the flaxseed powder and warm water together in a bowl until the mixture started to thicken. Then I let it sit for a few minutes to absorb. Once it formed a soft dough-like texture, I took small pieces of the mixture, flattened them onto a baking tray, and shaped them into round bread forms. After baking them in the oven until they firmed up, I had beautiful, earthy-smelling flaxseed breads ready to enjoy.

I love how flexible this recipe is. During breakfast, I enjoy these warm flaxseed breads with a variety of spreads — avocado, jam, cream cheese, honey, or WowButter (a peanut-free butter spread). Each topping gives it a completely different flavor, from creamy to sweet to nutty. For dinner, I sometimes switch things up by adding melted cheese or a fried egg on top for a more savory, protein-rich meal.

What makes this bread special is how healthy and satisfying it is. It’s completely vegan, high in fibre, and a great source of plant-based protein. The flaxseed gives it a hearty texture and a subtle nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with almost anything. Plus, it’s incredibly filling — just one or two pieces keep me full for hours without feeling heavy.

Every time I bake this, it reminds me how simple healthy eating can be. You don’t need complicated ingredients or long recipes — sometimes all you need is a bit of creativity and something as humble as flaxseed. It’s proof that vegan food can be wholesome, nourishing, and delicious all at once.

If you’re looking for an easy, gluten-free bread alternative, I highly recommend giving this Flaxseed Bread a try. It’s quick to make, full of nutrition, and perfect for any meal — breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you top it with spreads, eggs, or veggies, it’s sure to become one of your favourite healthy go-to recipes.

What I love most about this Flaxseed Bread is how versatile and satisfying it is. Every time I bake it, my kitchen fills with a warm, nutty aroma that feels comforting and homemade. The texture is soft yet firm, making it perfect for wraps, sandwiches, or even as a quick side with soup.

I’ve shared this recipe with a few family members, and they were surprised that something so simple could taste so rich and hearty. It’s now one of those staples I always keep in rotation — especially on days when I want something nourishing but easy to prepare.
