A soft, pillowy keto flaxseed bread that can be baked as a loaf, Focaccia-style or even as muffins. This low carb bread uses flaxseed and coconut flour as a base and is great toasted. Great for low carb, gluten free and Paleo diets. Only 5 minutes prep and 3.2g net carbs per slice! No eggy taste.
For many people, bread is one of those things that is impossible to give up. It's not only delicious in a comforting kind of way (I'm thinking buttered warm toast here), it is also such an easy and transportable meal staple.
Unfortunately, two slices of wholegrain wheat bread will raise your blood sugar levels higher than eating 6 teaspoons of table sugar. You can test this yourself with a simple glucose meter - check your blood sugar between 30 to 60 minutes afterwards.
Nut Free Keto Bread Recipe
With wheat and other grains off the table, there still are many ways of enjoying bread when you're on a low carb diet.
Low carb bread is generally made with either coconut flour or almond flour as a base. I have quite a few recipes on my website using either or both in combination. Try my easy low carb rolls, these low carb English muffins or this really rustic Paleo bread, which is packed with seeds.
This time, I wanted to create a keto bread recipe using ground flax seed and coconut flour. Flax is super-low in carbs and a brilliant source of fibre. You can use both golden flax meal and brown flax seeds for this recipe.
Golden Flax Focaccia
1.) The great thing about this flax seed bread is that here's no need to whisk the egg whites until they're stiff. You could do it if that's your thing - it might make the bread even fluffier - but it's pillowy and soft even without.
2.) Talking about eggs - one of the great things about this coconut flour bread is that it DOES NOT TASTE EGGY. This is because I've left out 3 of the egg yolks and used only the whites.
3.) The first time round, I made this coconut flour bread as a Focaccia-style flatbread. Just before I started writing this post I made it again in a silicone loaf pan (yes, I do double-check these recipes work!!). Both work well - as a loaf the bread needs 10 minutes longer in the oven.

4.) I baked my bread Focaccia-style in a 25x15 cm casserole dish. Next time, I will line it with baking paper to be able to take it out easier.
5.) You can even make flaxseed muffins with this bread recipe! In this case, the oven time will probably have to be reduced. My guess would be 25-30 minutes.
You CAN make this flax bread with almond flour instead of coconut flour. You would have to use about three times the amount of almond flour as almond flour is less absorbent. In this case, you'd also leave out one of the eggs.
Flaxseed Bread (keto, Vegan)
You could top your keto flaxseed bread with seeds (I tried sesame seeds, which worked well) or even mix some seeds into the dough. Or you go full-out Focaccia by adding rosemary and garlic on top.
I used olive oil in the recipe because I was after a bread taste. I think it masks the taste of the coconut flour well, especially in combination with the salt. This way, the bread is perfect for savoury toppings. If you wanted, you could use melted butter instead and have more of a muffin-type taste, which would be good for sweet toppings.

Easy Almond Flax Keto Bread Recipe With Crunchy Crust! (paleo & Gf)
When I made the loaf, I used a silicone loaf mould - they are brilliant! SO much better than the regular tin pans. Nothing EVER gets stuck in a silicone mould. It will change your (bread baking) life!! Low carb almond flour bread is one of the most popular recipes here on Wholesome Yum. But one of the most common questions I get about it is whether the psyllium husk powder can be replaced with something, especially flaxseed meal. So here it is: my easy keto flaxseed bread recipe with almond flour!
Low carb flax bread is very similar to the kind made with psyllium, with a few small tweaks. It has a softer texture, is slightly less chewy, has a mild nutty flavor, and still absolutely delicious. And before you worry about this healthy flaxseed keto bread being complicated or difficult, know that it takes just 10 minutes to prep!
This keto flax bread is a healthy bread made with nutritious almond flour and flax seed meal. It’s keto, low carb, and naturally gluten-free!

The flax imparts a slightly nutty flavor to the bread. It’s delicious all on its own, or with easy toppings like keto chicken salad.
TIP: You can whisk the wet ingredients separately first and then pour in if you like, as pictured below. I often skip that step and add the wet ingredients right into the dry, just make sure to mix well. And, make sure your eggs are at room temperature, otherwise the melted butter may either solidify or cook the eggs.
The amount of carbs in flaxseed bread will vary recipe to recipe. Some versions are made with wheat flour – NOT keto.

No, coconut flour absorbs a lot more moisture, so it can’t be substituted 1:1 with any other alternative flours. If you want to use coconut flour, use this coconut flour bread recipe instead.
No, regular flaxseed meal will work as well. However, golden flaxseed meal has a much more mild, neutral flavor, so I recommend it.
Then, like any other bread, use a serrated bread knife with a gentle see-saw motion. Using a chef’s knife or pressing straight down may cause it to crumble.

I recommend slicing and freezing the slices in a single layer, then transferring to a freezer bag once solid. That way, you can grab slices as needed.
