White Bean Flax Biscuits {4 ingredients, vegan}

Super-fast, easy, vegan white bean flax biscuits! Delicious and versatile, they are also grain-free, oil-free, sugar-free, and made with only 4 ingredients.

Peanut butter. Jelly. Avocado. Chocolate-hazelnut spread. Hummus.

They all taste pretty darn great on bread. They also deserve to spread on great bread.

So…here’s some great bread, in compact biscuit form! Not sweet, nor flavor-blasted. Just great, everyday bread for slathering with your favorite toppings, splitting to make mini-sandwiches, toasting, or munching straight up. 

The biscuits are frugal and easy to prepare, plus they go with just about everything. They are high in fiber, too, so one biscuit will fill you up without weighing you down.

Oh, and they also happen to be:

• Grain-free
• Vegan
• Oil-free
• Gluten-free
• Low-carb
• High fiber
• Sugar-free
• Only 52 calories per piece, too

Biscuits Made with Flax and White Beans

The inspiration for this bread comes from my Vegan Flax Muffins . The muffins are sweet, made with nut butter, maple syrup and dried fruit, and they happen to be one of those recipes I never tire of making and eating.

But what about a savory flax biscuit? One without any sweetness and plenty of versatility?

It took me several rounds of testing, but I finally pulled it off.

4 Ingredient Egg-Free, Grain-Free, Oil-Free Flax Biscuits

Making these biscuits requires no more than 4 Ingredients:

• Flaxseed Meal
• Canned White Beans (e.g., Great Northern, Cannellini, Navy)
• Coconut Flour
• Baking Powder

Flaxseed meal stars front and center, adding nutty flavor plus healthy fats (no need to add oil!) and mega fiber.

Canned white beans, pureed to a smooth, buttery consistency, take the place of the nut butter I used in my sweet flax muffins.  The beans contribute both structure and moisture. 

Baking powder and a bit of coconut flour (a well as some tap water, and optional salt) round out the ingredient list.

You can get these in the oven in about 5 minutes. Really. The results? Tender, toothsome mini breads, perfect plain, or with any and all toppings. You can split and fill them, too, for grab & go mini sandwiches.

I hope you make these, soon! I know you will enjoy them (and don’t forget to add any and all sorts of flavors, herbs, nuts, seeds, or whatever floats your boat!).

 

Happy baking (and slathering of toppings), everyone!
