YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Flaxseed Wrap

The original version of this recipe comes from Wheat Belly, authored by cardiologist William Davis. Flax meal is an interesting option if you are looking for grain-free options for a portable lunch. I like the idea of grinding flax seeds in your Vitamix, and I like the idea of making your own wraps.

  • 3 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds (flaxseed meal)
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. hot paprika
  • pinch of garlic powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut oil melted plus a little extra to grease pan
  • 1 Tbsp. carrot juice or water
  • 1 large egg

In a small bowl, mix together the flax meal, baking powder, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Stir in the coconut oil. Beat together the egg and water, and blend well with the batter.

Use your finger to grease a glass (microwave-safe) pie pan with a bit of coconut oil. Pour in the batter and spread evenly. Microwave on high 2-3 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes.

Lift edge with spatula to remove wrap from pan. If it sticks, loosen carefully with a pancake turner. Flip the wrap and fill it with whatever your heart desires. Wraps can be refrigerated for a couple of days, but I cannot see why you would want to.
