📝 Ingredients
🍳 Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (can be dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds (whole or ground, for extra fiber & omega-3)
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk (powdered or whole, creates that bread texture)
🧂 Optional add-ins (for flavor & health):
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder (for fluffier texture)
- Herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary) or seeds (sesame, sunflower) for topping
- A teaspoon of olive oil or melted butter for richness
🥣 Instructions
- Prepare the jars:
Use two clean, microwave-safe glass jars or mugs (about 8 oz / 240 ml each). Lightly grease them with a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking. - Mix the wet ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. - Add dry ingredients:
Stir in the flax seeds, psyllium husk, and if using, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Let the batter sit for 1-2 minutes—the psyllium will thicken the mixture into a bread-like batter. - Fill the jars:
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared jars. - Microwave:
Microwave on high for about 1½ – 2 minutes, checking at the 1-minute mark. The bread should rise and look set on top. Every microwave is different—if still wet, microwave in additional 15-second bursts. - Cool & serve:
Let it cool for a minute, then run a knife around the edges and pop out your little bread loaves. Slice and enjoy!
🔥 Methods & Tips
- Baking method:
If you prefer, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes. - Texture tips:
If you want more chewiness, use whole flax seeds. For a smoother bread, use ground flax. - Serving ideas:
Toast slices and top with avocado, cottage cheese, nut butter, or smoked salmon.
📜 Brief History
This quick bread is inspired by traditional microwave mug breads popular in keto and low-carb communities. They evolved from older “flax bread” recipes, loved for their speed and simplicity—proof that bread doesn’t always need yeast, sugar, or hours of rising.
🌱 Benefits
✅ No white flour: Better for stable blood sugar and digestion.
✅ No yeast or sugar: Great for those on low-carb, diabetic, or anti-candida diets.
✅ High fiber: Thanks to psyllium and flax, which help gut health.
✅ Protein-rich: Eggs provide essential amino acids.
✅ Omega-3s: Flax seeds are one of the best plant sources.
⚗️ Formation (Science in your kitchen!)
- Psyllium husk absorbs liquid, swells up, and forms a gel that traps air—mimicking the gluten structure of wheat.
- Eggs act as both binder and leavening agent, helping the bread set and rise.
- Microwave heat cooks quickly, causing the moisture to steam and the bread to puff up.
