This is the perfect comfort food. I used to be a bread face, I was addicted! I needed to find a healthy substitute. And this is the winner!! This recipe is adapted from “My New Roots” and trust me on this one, it is delicious and so easy to make!
This loaf is packed full of nutrients and healthy ingredients. This bread is gluten free and fibre filled helping your body stay regular! This bread does not contain flour but rather the secret ingredient known as Psyllium Husks. Pysllium Husks is known to be an over the counter laxative keeping your insides very happy with its cleansing actions! Psyllium husks contain both soluble and insoluble fiber meaning that is both cleanses the digestive tract as well as soothes it. This ingredient is what binds everything together to keep all of the ingredients in tact. Without it this would be one big mess!
