Anti Inflammatory Bread Recipe With Flax Seeds and Oats

this post

This anti inflammatory bread recipe is high fiber, gluten-free, and high protein. The oatmeal flax bread yields a nutritious, wholesome bread that is great for gut health and contains essential omega-three fats with anti-inflammatory properties. The anti inflammatory bread recipe is great for reducing inflammation due to the omega-3 fatty acids.

Flax seeds are the star ingredient in this anti inflammatory bread as they are an excellent source of plant-based omega-three fats, which are great for weight loss and inflammation.

Refined white flour bread is constipating for many people, but this oatmeal flax bread is an excellent source of fiber to promote healthy bowel movements.

I am all about gut health and healthy eating, so I decided to make healthy oatmeal bread from scratch with whole food ingredients. This anti inflammatory bread is a straightforward recipe that anyone can make, even if you have never made bread before.

If you are on a budget or don’t want to spend $10 or more on a loaf of gluten-free bread, this recipe is for you. Just be sure to purchase gluten-free oats to be 100% gluten-free.

I wanted to cut down on spending on our grocery budget, so I got inspired to make this homemade oatmeal bread recipe. 

Before making this anti inflammatory bread with flax and oats, I bought delicious gluten-free sourdough bread from our local baker, but it was also a pretty penny at 13 dollars a loaf. I know you may be thinking, who spends 13 dollars on a loaf of bread?! I do.

But that is because regular bread made from wheat flour is one of my food intolerances. Plus, storebought bread is a highly processed refined carbohydrate that I advise people to reduce or eliminate from their diets.

The gluten-free bread options in grocery stores are not that much better. Highly processed flours that are deficient in nutrients are often used. If you are on an anti-inflammatory diet and avoiding gluten, this anti-inflammatory bread is for you! Just be sure to purchase gluten-free oats. 

Benefits of making this oatmeal flax bread recipe

I wanted to make a budget-friendly oat and flax bread made from whole foods. The main ingredients are oats, ground flax seeds, and eggs, which are nutritious ingredients that are great for liver health and reducing inflammation!

Oats are a healthy whole-food carbohydrate that is inexpensive. I make oat flour in minutes using the Vitamix blender. Best blender ever, by the way! Blended oats and flax seeds are used to create a gluten-free flour.

You can also purchase pre-ground oat flour and flax seeds to use in the homemade bread recipe.

Flax seeds are high in fiber for gut health and help to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon. They are also a fantastic source of plant-based essential omega-three fats. Flax seeds are one of the best anti-inflammatory foods, as the omega-3 fats in flax seeds help modulate inflammation and have anti-inflammatory effects in the body.

Eggs are an excellent source of protein and are high in choline, which is essential for the PEMT gene. Choline helps to prevent fatty liver and a sluggish gallbladder.

This oatmeal flax bread recipe contains healthy carbohydrates, fats, and protein all in one! You will reap the anti-inflammatory benefits of the omega-3 fats found in flax seeds when you. 

Anti-Inflammatory Bread Ingredients

• 1 cup ground flax seeds
• 2 cups oat flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Six eggs
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

How to make the anti inflammatory bread recipe

1. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium to large mixing bowl, including oat flour, ground flax seeds, sea salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
2. Combine eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly.
3. Add one cup of warm water to the dry mixture and stir with a spoon. Then, incorporate the remainder of the wet ingredients. Continue to mix until a uniform dough forms. It will have a wet and runny consistency but thickens and rises as it bakes.
4. Line the bottom and one side of a loaf pan with baking paper. Grease the remaining sides with olive oil to prevent sticking.
5. Pour the wet oatmeal-flax bread dough into the loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
6. Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake the bread for 1 hour at 170° Celsius.
7. Once the bread is finished baking, carefully flip the loaf pan upside down and gently shake to release the bread. You may need a butter knife to separate the sides if necessary.
8. Allow the oatmeal bread to cool on a baking rack before slicing.

Enjoy your delicious and anti-inflammatory bread recipe with oats and flax seeds!
