What are Flaxseed Wraps?[edit]

Flax seed

Flaxseed wraps are an alternative to traditional high-carb wheat-based wraps. They are made from a combination of flaxseed meal, eggs, and other low-carb ingredients such as almond flour, coconut flour, or psyllium husk. The mixture is then cooked on a non-stick pan to make a thin, pliable wrap that can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, cheese, and avocado.

How to Make Flaxseed Wraps[edit]

To make flaxseed wraps, you will need:

  • 1 cup flaxseed meal
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
  • Add the flaxseed meal, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixing bowl and stir until a thick batter forms.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan and spread it out to form a thin, round wrap.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the wrap is cooked through and lightly browned.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.
