    Before cutting carbs, my favorite bread was the hearty whole grain type. So I wanted to try a keto-friendly homemade version.

    Since flaxseed meal provides a grain like texture in baking, I tested it out in this latest recipe. I also added in a little chia gel to reduce the number of eggs needed.

    This easy quick flax meal bread can be made in a loaf or muffin pan. I prefer using an 8x4-inch loaf pan because the batter doesn't have to be divided.

    It's a savory bread to serve with dinner or with eggs at breakfast. It can also be used to make a sandwich for lunch or enjoy as a satisfying snack.

    Ingredients Used

    ingredients needed

    You may already have the ingredients needed to make the recipe. It comes together quickly with flax meal, eggs, coconut flour, almond (or coconut milk), chia seeds, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and salt.

    You'll find the amounts used for each in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    How to make Flaxseed Meal Bread Keto

    The process for making this easy low-carb bread is simple. You'll start be preheating the oven to 325°F. Then grease a bread pan or muffin pan so it's ready to go.

    mixing dry ingredients in glass bowl

    To make the base mix, simply blend coconut flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

    Next, combine eggs, chia gel, coconut oil, low carb milk, and vinegar in a large bowl.

    Then pour the flaxseed mixture into the egg mix and stir to combine well.

    dry ingredients into wet

    Spread the thick batter into the prepared baking pan using a rubber spatula. If desired, you can make the batter a bit higher in the center in a football shape.

    The batter is baked for about 40 minutes or until it tests done by inserting a toothpick near the center and it comes out dry. Muffins take less time to cook and should be ready in about 25 to 30 minutes.

    After cooling on a rack for about 15 minutes, the flax meal bread or muffins can be removed from the pan. It's best to let the bread cool completely directly on the rack before slicing.

    Flax Bread Serving Suggestions

    Because it's so easy to make, this flax bread is perfect for every day on a low-carb or gluten-free diet. It's great for breakfast when toasted and spread with chia jam or butter.

    You can even make sandwiches with it. Some of my favorite fillings are keto chicken salad and a cold crab salad. But flaxseed meal bread also great for making a delicious cucumber cream cheese sandwich.

    Using and Storing Flax

    Flax meal is just finely ground flax seeds. If you can't find it, you can make your own by grinding the seeds in a blender or food processor.

    You can make the bread with regular or golden flax. The golden kind has a milder taste and lighter color. I prefer the heartier taste of the regular seeds.

    It's important to use fresh flax meal. Once the seeds have been ground they should be used right away or kept in the freezer or refrigerator.

    Freshly ground flaxseed is best stored in the freezer where it keeps for up to six months. The whole seeds can be refrigerated for up to a year.

    • Paleo Almond Flour Bread needs only five simple ingredients to make.

      I made this exact to recipe for bread and it didn’t rise at all. It was only about 2 inches high. What could have gone wrong?

      Excellent, I'm a man who can barely boil water and this came out perfectly. I had tried a few recipes just using flax and the squirrels wouldn't even eat them. Thanks for making it easy to stay keto !

      Most of the keto, low carb bread recipe requires a lot of eggs , is it possible to use for example Bob Red mill egg replacer? ,trying to see if it will taste less eggy?

        It's worth a try as using psyllium eggs usually works.

          It's based on cutting the loaf into 12 slices.

        Chia gel is a ratio of 1 unit chia seeds to 9 units water. The units can be whatever you are using to make it like teaspoons or tablespoons. You can even use a 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon measure if only making a small amount.

      Lisa, the flax breads I have made call for two cups of the flours. Before I make this, please verify the flour amounts are a total of one cup. Thanks.

        This is a short loaf if baking in a 9x5-inch pan and it's made with the amount shown.

      Hi Lisa,
      For the low carb coconut flax bread it calls for chia gel.
      What can I use to substitute for Chia gel? She does not get along with my system.
      Thanks.

        You could try psyllium with water.
