Ingredients

  • 2 and 1/2 cups 260 g flaxseed meal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/3 cups 315 mL water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F(200C). Spray 12 cups of a standard size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a food processor or clean coffee grinder, grind the flaxseed meal into a very fine flour. This is a very important step, Do not skip it.
  • In large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, baking powder and (optional) salt. Add the water, stirring until completely combined (the dough will look thick and somewhat gooey).
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, With damp hands, shape each piece into a ball. Place each ball into a prepared muffin cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 33 minutes until risen and browned
  • Cool the rolls in the muffin tin for 15 minutes before removing and placing on a cooling rack. Cool completely.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled rolls in an airtight container at (cool) room temperature for 3 days, the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or the freezer for up to 6 months.
Flaxseed meal tips: You can use dark (regular) flaxseed meal, but I think that golden flaxseed meal works best for these rolls. For best results, be sure to use fresh flaxseed meal; flaxseed meal can develop "off" flavors if it is old and/or improperly stored.
Grinding flax from seeds: You can grind whole flax seeds for this recipe, but be sure to grind them into a light, fluffy flour (i.e., not coarse meal).
Baking rolls without a muffin tin: The rolls can also be baked on a large baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper (or very lightly spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray). The rolls may not puff up in a round manner to the same degree as when baked in a muffin tin, but they will still be fluffy.
