Recipe: Easy Flax Seed Bread

This is a recipe for one slice of flax bread. And trust me, you do not want to eat more than one slice a day! The fiber is pretty powerful!

4 Tbs. flax meal (ground flax seed - can also be made with 3 Tbls.)
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1 packet Splenda or 1 tsp. sugar-free syrup such as Torani

Mix all ingredients together and pour into a square (sandwich) container. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. All done!

Put butter or other toppings on it and enjoy!

Optional frosting:
mix 1 packet Splenda or sugar-free syrup into cream cheese and frost the bread

Per slice (plain): 200 calories, 14g fat, 3-5g net carbs (depending on the type of baking powder and sweetener), 12g protein.

Here's what it looks like. Click to enlarge.
