The Easiest Flax Bread
3 ingredients - 90 seconds - hormone loving
So I’m big on seeds
Pumpkin
Sesame
Sunflower
Ground Flax
heck, even throw in some chia and hemp seeds for good will!
I pretty much recommend seeds for every single client
and also aim to eat them daily myself
and if you’re not quite sure *why* then I got you covered here:
Butttt I also get that they’re kinda hard to get into the diet
adding in ground flax or sesame seeds doesn’t come naturally for most
which can make it super hard to be consistent with
So when my boyfriend’s mom showed me this 3 ingredient flax bread, I knnnneeewww I had to re-create it for you all
They’re sort of like an english muffin crossed with a seedy paleo bread
and I’ll be honest gals - they don’t have *much* of a taste because they taste like, well, flax 🤣
BUT they are the perfect vehicle for dips, sauces, smoked salmon, etc. while making sure 'we’re getting in our daily seeds
The Ingredients:
THE FLAX: Oh, flax—we love her. She’s a little hormone superhero, supporting estrogen regulation, digestion, and gut health. Plus, she’s packed with fiber and lignans, which help balance hormones and keep things moving 💨.
THE EGG: A perfect little nutrient bomb. Full of choline (hello, brain health) and B vitamins, eggs provide the structure in this recipe while keeping things light and fluffy. Also, let’s not forget the protein—because who doesn’t want a little extra satiety?
THE BAKING POWDER: A tiny but mighty addition. It helps this bread rise just enough to avoid that dense, hockey-puck texture. Because we’re here for fluffy, not bricks.
And….that’s pretty much it
Sure, a pinch of salt or maybe some nutritional yeast for flavor, but overall, these “muffins” could not be easier to make
The Nutritional Breakdown:
Per muffin:

✔ A source of **healthy fats** to keep hormones happy

Tips and Tricks
✔ Spice up the flavor: Add a pinch of garlic powder, salt, herbs, or more nutritional yeast for a more *bread-like* flavor.
✔ Make a batch: make 3-4 muffins for a week’s serving of flaxseeds (1 serving = 2 Tbsp = 1/2 muffin)
✔ Pair it up: Top with avocado, cream cheese, smoked salmon, sprouts, tomatoes, cheese, etc. Basically, treat it like bread
A quick, gut-friendly, hormone-supportive option that literally takes **5 minutes start to finish**—what’s not to love?
