Bread in a Jar (1-Minute, No Flour, No Yeast)

A quick, protein-rich, gluten-free bread made right in a jar or mug. Soft inside, lightly crisp outside, and perfect for slicing, toasting, or enjoying warm.

Time

  • Prep: 2 minutes

  • Cook: 1–2 minutes (microwave)

  • Total: ~5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)

  • 2 tablespoons flax seeds (whole or ground)

  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk (or psyllium powder*)

  • Pinch of salt (optional but recommended)

*If using psyllium powder, reduce to 1½ tablespoons.

 Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.

  2. Add milk and whisk again.

  3. Stir in flax seeds, psyllium, and salt.

  4. Let the mixture rest 30–60 seconds until it thickens slightly.

  5. Pour into a microwave-safe glass jar or bowl (fill only halfway).

  6. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds until set.

  7. Let cool for 1 minute, then remove from the jar.

  8. Slice and enjoy—or toast for a crisp crust.
