Ingredients

1/4 cup 26 g flaxseed meal
1/4 teaspoon baking powder certified GF, as needed
Optional: pinch of salt
2 tablespoons 30 mL water

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk the flaxseed meal, baking powder, and (optional) salt with a fork until combined.
Whisk the water into the dry ingredients until completely combined.
Spray a mug, ramekin, or microwave-safe bowl or with nonstick cooking spray to coat.
Shape the dough into a biscuit-like disk that will fit into the bottom of the cooking container you prepared. Place the dough into the container.
Cook in microwave (on regular HIGH setting) for 60 seconds until the center is just set. Microwave a few seconds longer, if needed.
Use a potholder to remove the container from the microwave. Let cool for at least 1 minute. Use a spoon or fork to remove the bread.
Enjoy the bread plain, split and spread with your favorite toppings, or sandwich ingredients to make a mini sandwich.

Notes

Bake instead of Microwave: You can bake this in a conventional oven, air-fryer, or toaster oven. The time will vary slightly with each (so check at the earliest time for doneness). Use an oven-safe dish and bake at 350F (180C) for 12 to 18 minutes. Add more time, as needed, until the center is just set.

Storage: Make the bread as directed and cool. Store the bread in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to three days, the refrigerator for up to one week, and the freezer for up to 3 months.

Overcooking Tip: Do not worry if you overcook the bread somewhat. Even if it feels somewhat hard, it will be crunchy and delicious.

Flavor / Ingredient Add-In Ideas:

Fresh or Dried Herbs: add a generous pinch of dried herbs (e.g., tarragon, rosemary, basil, Italian herbs, Herbs de Provence). Or add about 1/8 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, sage) or up to 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil or cilantro.
Spices: Consider ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, or chile powder for savory bread. Or go with sweet spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, pumpkin pie spice, ginger or allspice. A pinch is all the you need.
Nuts or Seeds: Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of your favorite seeds (chopped, as necessary). For example, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, or pepitas.
