Flax Low-carb Gingerbread

     I am finding flaxseed to be a versatile grain substitute.  It has almost no carbohydrates to challenge the system and lots of fiber to clean out the colon.  Although it is high in omega 3 oils, most of them are in the vegetable form that only women are able to convert any significant quantities of into the usable EPA and DHA we need.  The high lignan levels bind toxins being excreted by the liver, which is the most important reason I use it during my Green Fast times.

     Many people just eat the ground flaxseed straight or sprinkled on other foods for these health benefits.  Personally I like to make my health foods delicious.  So how about some tasty Gingerbread to make that flaxseed really much easier to get “down the hatch”.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together in a large bowl:
2 cups flaxseed meal
    1 Tbs. baking powder
    1 tsp. sea salt
    3 tsp. ginger powder
    ¾ cup Dr. Dave Double Sugar
    ½ tsp. nutmeg
Beat together in a small bowl:
    5 eggs
    ½ cup water
    ¼ cup molasses
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1/3 cup ghee or melted butter

     Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well, then pour the batter into a 9x9 (or similar size) pan and pop it into a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.  In short order you will have a delicious gingerbread that is not only low-carb, but really good for you.
