Why I don’t bake very often

I make the diabetic online one with 5 eggs and 2 cups of ground flaxseed bread but it’s a bit dense. Could you post your recipe please? Sounds like you use whole seeds which might be nicer
Same one as vince posted
 
Another reason for it being dense could be being too slow between adding the Apple cider vinegar to the mix and folding into the eggs, because that would start off the baking powder before getting it into the oven to rise there. I agree with Vince, the eggs need to be pretty stiff too, because they hold the air that expands.

This is helpful as I’ve not tried this recipe yet so good to have tips before U get started. Thanks
 
Brilliant thanks Vince! This is different to the diabetic online recipe so will give this one a try.
Good luck Sally.
If I can do it anyone can lol
Just ensure the eggs whites are nice and fluffy 🙂
 
Thanks. I am lucky enough to know a kitchenaid so that should be OK. You sound like you’ve made huge strides in a short time Vince!

Thanks Sally and I have managed not t burn the place down yet lol
 
Thanks. I buy loaf silicone moulds to avoid sticking. Think I got them on poundland
I have silicone muffin cases, got in home bargains. Will look for loaf tin thanks
 
Good luck Sally.

Don’t think I fluffed up eggs enough and didn’t realise the vinegar had reaction. I bought cider vinegar so don’t know if that had an effect as well

I use cider vinegar Carol and it is ok
 
Sorry meant paper silicone cases to put inside my old loaf tin. You can easily lift out then
Ah. I have paper cases to put inside tin, but thought bread would maybe stick, but should spay them with oil or put flour inside

I would use a little butter or spray with oil just a little
