Low carb seed bread has become a fixture in German kitchens under the name Eiweißbrot, and it is one of the rare low carb breads that does not pretend to be something it is not. There is no yeast and no gluten development — it is bound by seeds, eggs and baking powder, so it behaves more like a dense loaf cake than a bread.

That structure is the point. Sunflower seeds, flax and psyllium hold enough water to keep the loaf moist for the better part of a week, and each slice carries real protein rather than empty starch. Toast it — untoasted it can taste flat, but a hot slice with butter tastes nutty and rich. All ingredients are stocked by US natural grocers.

Bread without flour – simple seed bread and grain bread with baking powder…

Feel free to vary a bit on the amount of grains and nuts. However, you definitely need chia seeds, psyllium husks and the shredded flax seeds to bind the bread, as well as rolled oats, oil, vinegar and maple syrup. Instead of maple syrup, you are welcome to use honey or agave syrup.

In the past, my favorite bread was sweet brioche. Over time, my preference has evolved to whole grain bread. Meanwhile, I love the real grain bread, the bread without flour. I wouldn’t have thought in the past that you could bake a bread using only grains without it falling apart or being too “gummy”. I found the perfect recipe without oats for me, which I now prefer to eat even more than my much-loved Brioche.

Healthy low carb grain bread without flour

Unlike our gluten-free seed bread, there are oatmeal in this bread recipe. However, if you use gluten-free rolled oats for the recipe, you get a grain bread without gluten. It has been my experience that grain oatmeal goes better with healthy bread. The grain bread becomes a little more moist with tender oatmeal. The low carb bread as a seed bread without flour acts through the oat flakes and the baking powder almost like normal grain bread with flour.

Grain bread as a substantial dish – simply baked by yourself

Who has never baked a seed bread, will be surprised at the ingredients. Some ingredients we also had to organize first for our delicious low carb breads. However, the result was directly worth it and it tasted better than imagined. In contrast to the normal bread, the seed bread is a real substantial dish. For us, just a few slices are enough to feel full for breakfast.

Filling or spread for the grain bread

Our homemade jam or cream cheese with cucumbers or radishes tastes really good with our grain bread recipe. Delicious cold fillings, such as cheese or turkey breast go very well with the fitness bread. Vegan spread variants taste even healthier. However, also recommended are warm fried eggs on the warm baked bread.

We currently bake our healthy flourless bread recipes extremely often in addition to our plum cake recipe and other favorite recipes. As much as we love to eat our seed breads, we are also always happy when we consciously sin a little on Sundays. Then we often have our sweet milk rolls with chocolate or classic Sunday rolls as an alternative for breakfast. Have fun trying them out!

    Thanks for sharing these great bread recipes – I’m really lookong forward to trying this one and also the seed bread without oats.

    A question about the nutrition info you provide: is that per slice or per 100g?

      Thank you …

      The nutrition data is per slice and is always only approximately as an orientation.

    A nice alternative if you want a little variety in your seeded bread. I tried both recipes on your site and both are delicious (my favorite is still the other bread though).

      Thank you so much, Gundula.

      I totally agree with you, I keep leaning toward the other recipe (the one without baking powder) too. Best, Vanessa
