Do you need an easy low-carb, and low-fat, loaf of bread, and sometimes you just can’t wait to order the mix, or you run out at the last minute? Yeah, me too!
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts with Trim Healthy women asking for a DIY version of our favorite easy bread mix, and so I went to my kitchen to begin testing, because I love a good baking challenge these days.
It took a few tries, but it totally paid off!
I made this bread mix from a similar ingredient profile to that of the Trim Healthy version, so this loaf has a similar fuel source and ALL the details are below! Man, I LOVE this lifestyle!

Ingredients:
- 3/4 Cup Oat Fiber (this is NOT the same as Oat Flour)
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Flax Meal
- 2 Tablespoons Almond Flour/Meal, you can exchange this for Sunflower Meal for nut free
- 1/4 Cup Whole Psyllium Husk
- 2 teaspoons Nutritional Yeast
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Mineral Salt
- 1/16th teaspoon Pure Stevia Extract Powder or 1/4 teaspoon Pure Monk Fruit Extract Powder
- 1 1/3 Cup egg whites
- 3/4 Cup cool water
Method:
Mix all dry ingredients together very well. This can be mixed in advance for even faster, and more convenient bread-like baking. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put 1 1/3 Cup egg whites and 3/4 cup cool water into a blender and have it running on a low setting while you pour the dry ingredients into it. Let it run for an additional 30 seconds on low, and then pour it into a prepared loaf pan. I prepared mine with parchment paper to make it come out cleanly for the cooling process.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour in a preheated oven. Turn the oven off once the timer goes off, without opening the oven door, and allow it to sit in the oven for an additional 20 minutes while the temperature comes down some. Then, remove it from the oven, and the pan (parchment makes this part a SO EASY) and allow to cool on a cooling rack, completely before cutting into it.
** I got 18 slices, approximately 1/4in thick off of this loaf. 1/12th of this recipe is right at the limit for fat in a fuel pull meal on the Trim Healthy Lifestyle plan, so keep that in mind when you are using this in an E or FP setting. **
I have an Easier Easy Bread recipe too if you are out of egg whites, or don’t enjoy keeping them around.

Can this be used in place of the THM Baking Blend? There is some taste in the baking blend that I don’t care for.

No this has a different ingredient profile, and it will not act the same.

Does it matter what size loaf pan? Metal or glass?

Can you use your bread mix in the recipes that call for NCEB? I love to use it in lots of those recipes.
TY.

Can you multiply this recipe to keep the mix on hand? If so how much would you measure out to mix with the wet ingredients at the time you are making a loaf?

I have not measured the final amount because I just prep it in quart jars and keep those ready to roll for when I want to make bread. It would be hard to get a consistent measurement because the flours will settle as they sit, but let me know if it works for you to do it the way you suggested.
