10 Gluten Free Flaxseed Bread Recipes

Today we are heading back into the kitchen to bake some nutritious and delicious gluten-free flaxseed bread recipes.

Here you’ll find some great recipes for anyone that is purposefully removing gluten from their diet, for example, someone who has been diagnosed with celiac disease or any other gluten intolerance.

10 Gluten Free Flaxseed Bread Recipes

Just because you can’t have traditional bread or you choose to eliminate it from your diet, doesn’t mean that classic foods such as this cannot be enjoyed.

The good news is that there are plenty of recipes to get stuck into. Even better, they come with a variety of flavours and ingredients to keep things interesting for the taste buds, and diverse for the gut.

Flaxseeds (also known as linseed) contain lignans. Lignans are plant compounds that may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and more. They also contain omega 3 fatty acids which are essential in maintaining healthy skin and hair and reducing inflammation.

A great way to get benefits flaxseeds/linseeds into your diet is by adding LSA meal to your regular dishes.

Flaxseeds are one of the most versatile seeds out there. You can use them in many different ways. You can eat them plain, add them to smoothies, sprinkle on salads, blend them into muffins, or today: make them into a delicious loaf.

The following recipes are all easy to make and taste amazing. At least we think so anyway. So let’s get baking.

Flaxseed Bread (Vegan And Gluten-Free)

If you’re looking for a nutty flavour, then the best place to start is with this vegan and gluten-free flaxseed bread. It is an awesome source of protein and fibre – the former often being too low on some vegan diets. Furthermore, this bread doesn’t look any different from a loaf at your local grocery store.

This recipe will serve up to 12 people, or 12 servings, and will only take a grand total of 55 minutes to make which includes 40 minutes of baking time.

If you use golden flax seeds it gives the bread a wonderful colour so make sure to go with them.

Gluten-Free Flaxseed Coconut Bread (Paleo And Dairy Free)

Next on our list of gluten free flaxseed bread recipes is one that ticks all the boxes for inclusion. So much so, we reckon it will be difficult to find anyone that won’t be able to enjoy this recipe.

This bread can be enjoyed in a number of different ways. However, we feel it works best with a hummus dip that adds creaminess to this bread.

That said, we also enjoyed this with a lentil soup, so there are plenty of choices other than just on its own.

Using coconut flour is a great touch and adds so much more flavour. Flaxseed recipes can sometimes finish with a bland taste, so this extra taste hit is most welcome.

The coconut flour adds a new dimension to gluten-free flaxseed bread. So make sure to try this one at the next bake-off.

Keto Flaxseed Bread Recipe

The Ketogenic diet is one of the most popular diets out there right now, and many people report health benefits following this low-carb approach.

Gluten-free foods often go hand-in-hand with a lower-carb diet. Therefore, this recipe is the perfect choice for those either eating gluten-free or pursuing a Keto diet – or both. Better still, it’s delicious and nutritious.

Is it time you invested in a new Food Processor? With all the different attachments that come with the modern models, there is very little that you can’t prepare one. For more information and prices, click here.

The secret to this recipe is using low-carb almond flour that gives a soft texture, is less chewy than other flaxseed bread, and has a nutty taste. Oh, and it only takes 10 minutes to prepare so you’re not going to be baking for hours and hours.

Almond Flax Bread With Eggs (Gluten-Free)

If you’re looking for a gluten-free option but can still tolerate eggs, then you might want to choose this almond flax bread with eggs recipe. Eggs are super healthy and contain a mixture of important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, B12, Iron, Zinc, Selenium, Calcium, Phosphorus, and Potassium.

If you are spot on with the measurements, you can get about 13 slices of bread that are low in calories and relatively high in protein. Use it as a snack, a meal replacement, or just enjoy it with friends with a cup of coffee on the weekend. The choice is yours.

Simple Gluten-Free Flaxseed Bread

What made us try this recipe out was curiosity about its rich, dark colour. Indeed, it almost looks more like a slice of chocolate cake than a slice of bread. However, we were not disappointed when we gave it a go.

For this recipe, you’ll need to source some flaxseed flour, quinoa flour, and tapioca flour. But don’t panic. These days you can find them in most grocery stores or online. And they are well worth the investment if you are in the market for a flaxseed bread that doesn’t crumble and is moist to taste.

Flaxseed Focaccia Bread (Gluten Free)

Moving on with our rundown of gluten free flaxseed bread recipes, it’s time to incorporate some herbs into your diet. Specifically, into your bread, as this rosemary flaxseed bread is a powerhouse of health.

This loaf is also keto-friendly, which will appeal to a big chunk of our audience who follow this method of dieting.

What we like most about this recipe is its beautiful aroma. As soon as you take the loaf out of the oven you get a strong herby scent that is welcoming and warming. And using ground flaxseed is a nice touch as some recipes that use flaxseed flour can lose its essence and nutritional value.

Sunflower And Flaxseed Bread (Gluten-Free)

Sunflower seeds are packed full of nutrients including Magnesium, Copper, Manganese, Phosphorus, and Folate. They are also an excellent source of fibre, making them a good addition to any diet plan. We love how this sunflower and flaxseed bread feels moist on the pallet and warm in our bellies.

In addition, there are lots of other healthy ingredients in this bread. For instance, the use of cumin seeds lends both spicy warmth and numerous health benefits.

Choose this one if you want a rich taste and healthy snack for the weekend.

So it might be in your best interest to try this sandwich-focused flaxseed bread that is one of the best alternatives we’ve tried.

Flaxseed Muffins

Time to change up things and introduce one of our favourite breakfast foods. These flaxseed muffins overcome all expectations and deliver a tasty treat that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family.

Are your muffin tins looking scratched and losing their non-stick qualities? Maybe it’s time to new some new ones? Here are some suggestions and prices, see here.

Make sure to read the labels of the almond flour to ensure they are gluten-free.

And a quick tip for storing these muffins is to only leave them in the refrigerator for a couple of days. In fact, it’s best to store these individually in the freezer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Eat Flaxseed Bread On Keto?

Yes. This bread is keto-friendly, meaning that it won’t spike your blood sugar levels or cause you to feel bloated after eating it. In fact, many of the recipes above contain less than 3 grams of net carbs per slice.

Is Flaxseed Bread Healthy?

Flaxseed bread is a great way to get more omega-3 fatty acids into your diet. Omega-3s are essential fats that are good for your heart and brain, as well as your skin, hair, nails, and joints. They’re also known to lower bad cholesterol while increasing good cholesterol.

Why Didn’t My Flaxseed Bread Rise?

You may notice that some of the flaxseed bread recipes don’t rise very much at all. That’s because flaxseed contains a high amount of phytic acid, which binds to minerals such as iron and calcium and prevents them from being absorbed.

To combat this, simply soak the seeds overnight before grinding them.
