Flax Bread

A quick and easy way to make bread or wraps when you need a sandwich.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Ground Flax Meal
• 1 tbsp Ground Psyllium Husk
• 1-2 eggs
• 1 tsp spices of your choice

Instructions

• Mix above ingredients. If you wish to make a thinner, larger bread to use as a wrap then use 2 eggs or egg whites so it is runnier.
• Pour into a non stick or greased fry pan at medium heat and cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Notes

This recipe can be modified to be savoury or sweet depending on the spices you add to it. I've done garlic and turmeric and I've also used nutmeg and cinnamon. You can also add some flavoured protein powder to create more of a healthy pancake!
