Flax meal in baking

[supernova]

I finally found, I think, a gluten free bread that I like. It's a course multi seed bread made by arrowhead mills. More like that German health bread.

Anyway, I was looking for ways to make the bread even more nutrition dense, and I have been looking for ways to use nut meals. So I got some flax meal to try. I was thinking I would just add some to the flour, but really it's a oil substitute too -- something I didn't know.

You can replace the oil in your baking by a ratio of 3 parts flax meal to 1 part oil. So, I replaced the 1/4 oil that Arrowhead Mills called for with 3/4 cup of flax meal.

It's delish! It's a lot more earthy-tasting than any bread that I have ever eaten, a kind of primitive quality.

I like it!

3. I do use it

in the dry ingredients when I make quick breads and muffins, even tho it's supposed to be a fat sub. Always came out great.

I wish that they were as nutritious in the whole stage because I really like the nutty flavor when I bite into them.
