Flourless Bread in a Jar (No Sugar, No Yeast)
Soft, sliceable, nutritious bread made from eggs, milk, flax, and psyllium.
Ingredients
(For 1 medium jar loaf)
3 eggs
1 cup (240 ml) milk (any milk: cow, almond, soy, etc.)
2 tbsp flax seeds
2 tbsp whole psyllium husk (NOT powder—powder absorbs too much)
½ tsp salt (optional but recommended)
1 tbsp oil or melted butter (optional—makes texture softer)
Instructions
1. Prepare the jar
Use a heat-safe glass jar (12–16 oz / 350–450 ml).
Lightly grease the inside with oil or butter.
2. Mix the batter
In a bowl, whisk:
Eggs
Milk
Salt (optional)
Oil (optional)
Then stir in:
Flax seeds
Psyllium husk
Mix well and let it rest 2–3 minutes.
The mixture will thicken slightly.3. Fill the jar
Pour the batter into the jar, leaving at least 2–3 cm space at the top (it rises slightly).
4. Cook the bread
You can choose microwave or oven:
Microwave (FASTEST)
Microwave on high for 3–4 minutes.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick (should come out clean).
Oven
Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 20–25 minutes until risen and golden.
5. Cool and slice
Let the bread cool 5–10 minutes.
Run a knife around the jar, unmold, and slice.
Servings
Makes 1 small loaf, about 8–10 slices.
Texture & Flavor
Moist, springy, slightly chewy
Very high in fiber
Mild taste that pairs well with savory or sweet toppings
Tips
Use whole psyllium husk for a soft bread. Powder makes it gummy.
Add 1–2 tbsp pumpkin seeds or sesame seeds for crunch.
For a more bread-like taste, add:
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, adds savory flavor)
If using plant milk, choose unsweetened.
