Gluten Free, low GI, high protein, high fibre, low carb “Super Bread”
Well I’ve really excelled myself this time – finally got the recipe that is similar/acceptable to bread. Its fluffy, little delicate but holds together pretty well and tastes good! My secret ingredient this attempt was 1 cup of grated broccoli stumps (woo hoo my favourite healthy food is now in my bread!). The only problem is I never measure “that” well… so this may need another edit next time sorry!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tsp yeast
- 1/2 cup Fibergy*
- lukewarm water
- 6 organic eggs
- 2 Tbs nut butter
- 1 cup grated broccoli trunks
- 1 Tbs chia seeds
- 1 cup organic protein powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp Xanthan gum
- 1 Tbs or more coconut, oat or flour of choice if needed to thicken mixture
- 1 Tbs nutritional yeast optional
- 1 Tbs macha powder optional
- 1 tsp xylitol optional
- 1/2 – 1 cup seeds of choice
Method
- Mix yeast and Fibergy with enough warm water to make a runny paste, let sit for 15 minutes – the inulin in Fibergy will feed the yeast
- Combine all dry ingredients
- Add remaining ingredients and mix (you may need to warm the nut butter up and/or take extra effort to incorporate)
- Let sit for 10 minutes for chia seeds to absorb and thicken to around cake mixture thikness
- Sprinkle some extra seeds on top
- Set on cake setting if using bread machine, of pour into loaf tin (cover with alfoil to prevent top burning) and bake 150 degree for around 25-40 minutes – check with skewer. You may need to pop bread machine tin in oven if not completely cooked through but it won’t take long and remember to cover with alfoil
- Cool on rack
- Freezes really well, toasts really well 😋
I hope you enjoy 🌸

Fibergy is what I use (it’s tasteless and has soluble and insoluble fibre) but I am sure you could use flax or other fibre powders
