ground flax — RECIPES

BROCCOLI SPINACH GALETTE

This delicious savoury galette is made with a pie dough pastry and includes ground flax for extra nutrients and minerals, but feel free to use a puff pastry in its place. As always, we use flour from The Flourist because it is unrefined, unbleached, unprocessed, and is traceable. Read more on why we care about that here. You can also use “00” flour, which is preferred by some who have gluten intolerances (but avoid all wheat if you have celiac disease).

Noteworthy: this same recipe can be used for sweet galettes such as those with rhubarb and/or berry fillings; just be sure to add 1 tbsp of sweetener (maple syrup or honey) to your dough if doing so.

FLUFFY FLAX-WALNUT BANANA BREAD WITH CHOPPED MILK CHOCOLATE

This fluffy banana bread is the easiest thing to make. It’s a great start if you’re just getting into baking. You can adjust it as you like; use a different nut, don’t grind your flax, or skip the chocolate; up to you! As with all our recipes that call for flour, we prefer the fresh-milled, unrefined kind from The Flourist (read why here) and eggs from chickens running free on organic farms. We get ours from Klippers Organic Farm (read about them here).
