4 Ingredient Flax & White Bean Breads {vegan, grain-free, oil-free}

Super-fast and easy flax and white bean breads! They are vegan, grain-free, oil-free, sugar-free, and made with 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! 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. It is cheap and easy to prepare, keeps well, goes with just about everything, and will fill you up without weighing you down.

Oh, and it’s

*Made with 4 ingredients (plus water and optional salt)
*Grain-free
*Vegan
*Oil-free
*Gluten-free
*Low-carb
*High fiber
*Sugar-free
*Only 52 calories per piece, too

The inspiration came from my Flourless Flax Power Pucks. They are sweet, made with nut butter, maple syrup and dried fruit, and they happen to be one of those recipes that I never tire of making and eating.

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

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

Flaxseed meal stars front and center, adding nutty flavor plus healthy fats and mega fiber.

In place of nut or seed butter, which I used in my sweet flax breads, I used pureed white beans, which contribute both structure and moisture. Some water, optional salt, leavening and a bit of coconut flour sealed the deal.

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!
