Here’s how you turn this into a dessert: Make the flax pudding recipe as listed and add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, depending on your carb/nutrition needs. You can also top this with berries, or add some finely ground coffee/ espresso powder to the mix. The options are endless! This is an easy vegan keto dessert!
Mix 1/4 cup flax seed meal, 1/4 cup water (some of the liquid can be sugar-free syrup if desired), and 1 large egg in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds. Move the cooked part of the pudding towards the center of the bowl and add any mix-ins you want.
Make flax pudding sugar-free by omitting honey. Increase cinnamon or add a dash of vanilla extract for more sweetness. Boost protein and healthy fats by mixing in peanut butter, almond butter, mixed seed butter, or top with toasted nuts. The pudding will thicken up very quickly as it sits.
This low carb flax bread uses the gel in the recipe. It can also be added to hot cereal like such as low carb oatmeal or low carb porridge recipes as a thickener. And if you add the gel to scrambled eggs, they’ll be fluffier.
