Flax bread in the microwave

This is a recipe I got off of a low carb message board many years ago. It's a quick and easy recipe that produces a light, coarse-textured bread similar to a whole-grain loaf. I like it with butter and sugar-free jam, and usually eat half the loaf for breakfast.

I think it would also make a serviceable sandwich bun if prepared in two circular ramekins, then cooled and cut in half.

I buy the unground flax seed and grind it myself in a little coffee grinder I keep just for that purpose. You can buy ground flax seed but apparently it goes rancid fairly quickly. I add the baking powder in with the seeds before grinding, just so it gets mixed into the flax really well.

Flax Bread in microwave (makes 2 servings)

1 ounce of melted butter, cooled slightly
2 medium eggs
4 tablespoons of ground flax seed
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.

Add the eggs to the melted butter and mix well. Add the flax and baking powder and mix together thoroughly. You want a wet, smooth batter. Pour into the greased or sprayed microwave-safe baking dish of your choice.
 

Microwave the bread for 3 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing from pan.
