Ingredients

• 2 cups Ground flaxseed meal
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 5 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Water
• 0.33 cups Olive oil
• 1 teaspoons Honey (optional, for slight sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 8x4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, olive oil, and honey (if using). Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together with a spatula or spoon until a thick batter forms. The mixture will be somewhat sticky but should hold together well.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula to create an even surface.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
