A coconut flour low carb flax bread that’s full of healthy ingredients and so easy to make. It’s a perfect for every day on a gluten free diet.
After discovering all the benefits of chia seeds, I made up some chia gel using nine parts water to one part chia seeds. Since the gel can be used in baking, I thought I’d make up a quick bread and add a little chia gel to the batter.
This is an easy low carb flax bread that can be made in a loaf or muffin pan. I used a 9×5 loaf pan because it is less time consuming as the batter doesn’t have to be divided.
There is no sweetener added to this savory bread. It makes a wonderful side to dinner or with eggs at breakfast.

This was really good, thank you for the recipe! I did not have chia. I wanted to sweeten it just a little so I added 1/4 cup honey (melted in microwave and mixed in with wet ingredients) and I also wanted to add texture so I added 1/4 cup grated coconut to the dry ingredients. It came out really good, not really sweet tasting. The honey upped the carbs by 6 grams per serving, fyi.

I bet a touch of stevia and monk fruit would also help enhance the flavor. Thanks for the idea to add a bit of sweet!
June says
Stevia and monk fruit! Yes! Thanks again. I really loved this and got enthusiastic thumbs up on it from others as well!

Do you store this bread in the refrigerator or room temp?
Lisa says
I store all my low carb baked goods in the refrigerator so they last longer.

Lisa, How do I prepare the chia gel? This bread looks pretty good.
Lisa says
Priscilla – You just mix chia seeds with water and let it sit until the gel forms.
Priscilla Ciochetto says
Sounds simple enough even for me! Just between you and me I really don’t like to cook much but I am very interested in low card bread so it looks like I need to make it myself….. Thank you, Priscilla

Caitlin says
Are there any substitutions I could use for the chia gel?
Lisa says
Xanthan or guar gum would make good subs. I’d only add 1/2 teaspoon and additional liquid if needed. You may be able to just omit the chia gel since there are so many eggs.
Heather says
Looking forward to baking this up this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!
