Flaxseed Recipes

Flaxseeds are slightly bigger than sesame seeds and have a smooth, shiny hard shell. Their color varies from deep amber to reddish brown. They're high in omega-3 fatty acid and fiber, making them a necessary diet supplement. Since flaxseeds are low in carbohydrates, they help in controlling blood pressure, blood triglyceride, and LDL cholesterol levels, in the body.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flaxseed meal
• 5 eggs, beaten
• 1-2 tbsp. artificial sweetener
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• ⅓ cup oil
• 1 tsp. salt
• ½ cup water

Directions

Place an oiled parchment paper or a silicone mat on a pan. Mix all the dry ingredients―flaxseed meal, artificial sweetener, baking powder, and salt―in a bowl. Add the eggs, oil, and water, to this mixture. Allow the batter to set for 2-3 minutes till it thickens, slightly. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it out to get an even thickness.

Place the pan in a 350 °F preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or wait till the bread browns. Allow it to cool and then slice it before serving.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 4 tsp. margarine (alternative: butter), softened
• ¼ cup Pizzey's Premium Organic Milled Golden Flaxseed
• ¼ cup Pizzey's Premium Organic Whole Golden Flaxseed
• ½ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. baking powder
• ½ cup skimmed milk

Directions

To a large bowl, add the flour, whole flaxseed, milled flaxseed, margarine, baking powder, and salt. Using a stand mixer, blend these dry ingredients till they resemble coarse meal. Pour the milk into this and knead the dough.

Cover it with a plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Roll the dough and divide it into equal-sized quarters. Sprinkle some flour on a cutting board and roll the dough quarters into thin 1/16-inch rectangles, over its surface.

Then, cut them into 2½-inch squares. Transfer these squares to a baking sheet and place it in a 325 °F preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they turn crisp and golden in color.

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups flaxseed meal
• Artificial sweetener (equal to ¾ cup sugar)
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tbsp. cinnamon
• ¼ cup oil
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1 medium-sized apple, finely chopped
• ½ cup water (alternative: flavored syrup of your choice)
• ½ cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 °F and then grease a muffin tin. Mix the flaxseed meal, artificial sweetener, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon, in a bowl. Add the eggs, oil, apple chunks, pecans, vanilla extract, and water, to the dry mixture.

Combine the two and let the batter stand for 10-12 minutes. Pour this into the muffin tin and place it in the oven for 18 minutes until done, or when the muffins easily pull away from the sides of the tin.
