Banting Bread

Carb Free Banting Bread

This Banting bread makes the ideal healthy low-carb alternative for those of us on the Tim Noakes Banting diet.

Not only is this Banting bread really tasty, but it’s of the low-carb & gluten-free variety which is ideal for those who are watching their weight & blood sugar levels.

Furthermore, giving up bread is one of the most difficult foods to stop eating, & substituting white bread (the most unhealthy type) with health bread, rye or whole wheat bread isn’t good enough.

They all have a high carb and gluten content which will leave you feeling bloated & uncomfortable, not to mention causing the weight gain & other health issues unhealthy bread causes.

The good news is that you can make your own low-carb Banting bread that carries almost zero carbs (less than 50g) and tastes really good.

Banting Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 egg whites
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 cups of milled flaxseed (there’s a dark & a light variety of flaxseed – both have the same nutritional value but produce either dark or lighter bread respectively)
• 6 tbsp coconut oil (or olive oil)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ cup water
• 3g of stevia (sweetener, xylitol, sugar substitute)

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 180°C
• Blend the dry ingredients together in a food processor ( it’s not advisable to do this by hand as you may not be able to combine the ingredients thoroughly enough which may prevent rising of the bread)
• Add the wet ingredients to the food processor & blend together (the mixture may get quite stiff).
• Pour the mixture into a greased bread tin & bake for approximately 30 minutes or until cooked through – check this by using a skewer
• Remove the loaf from the tin & place it on a board & allow it to cool
• Once it has cooled properly you will be able to slice it & store it in a fridge or freezer

For extra flavouring you can add any flavours of your choice or even add some cheese or vegetables to the mixture as well as chia seeds to make your Banting bread tastier and healthier.

It is also worth mentioning that this Banting bread also toasts very well, so if you have been missing your toasted sandwiches don’t worry, you can have your favourite toasties again.

Take a look at some of the accompaniment suggestions below to add more oomph and wholesomeness to your slice of toast.

Banting Bread Serving Ideas

If you aren’t going to eat your Banting bread straight away, it’s a good idea to slice the loaf and then freeze it.

You can therefore remove a few slices from the freezer whenever you want and toast them.

• A toasted slice of this Banting bread goes down really well with some smashed avocado with, or without, a poached or fried egg for breakfast.
• Another favourite of mine is to add some salmon to a slice of this tasty carb-free bread which makes a satisfying nutritious snack.
• It also makes a great accompaniment to a hearty bowl of soup.
• Another tasty option for eating a slice of your toasted Banting bread is to spread some full fat yogurt on it, topped with blueberry seeds and chia seeds.
• You could even top a slice of toasted bread with feta cheese, cucumber and onions.
• The options are endless, you can choose almost anything from the Banting Green List to enjoy your carb-free bread with.
