Flaxseed Buns with egg and cress
This recipe makes 4 buns in total (2 per person). Fancying a bread roll? Then you must try these flax seed buns! Really simple to make and only take 20 minutes to cook! No proving required.
Ingredients
- 80g ground flaxseeds
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp rock salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1/2 tsp mixed herbs
- 2 medium eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp water
- 4 medium eggs for the filling
- 4 small handfuls of watercress
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flaxseed, bicarb, salt, pepper, and mixed herbs.
- Add the beaten eggs, maple syrup, vinegar, oil, and water, and mix well. Leave to thicken for 5 minutes.
- Take 4-5 tbsp of batter and shape into a bun in your hands. If the mixture is quite wet, don’t worry.
- Place each bun on the prepared baking tray, leaving a good space between them all. It should make 4 buns. You want the buns around 1 cm thick, so you can gently press on them if you need to shape them smaller.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
- While they are cooking, boil your eggs for 10 minutes. Then peel and slice.
- Remove the buns from the oven when ready and leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Slice and fill with 1 sliced egg per bun and a handful of watercress. Enjoy!
