Paleo Naan Bread-Linseeds and Coconut Flour
Ingredients;
- 2.5 Tablespoons of ground linseeds (flaxseeds)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or thick coconut milk
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup arrowroot powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Coconut oil or ghee for cooking
Directions;
- Mix all ingredients in a food processor until combined well. It won’t be quite a dough consistency but it’s also not going to be quite as runny as pancake batter.
- Melt 1 tablespoon or so, of ghee or coconut oil in a frypan over medium high heat.
- Drop about two to three large tablespoons of batter into the hot pan.
- Wet your finger with water and tap down the batter to help spread it into a circle shape.
- Cook about 2 minutes per side or until golden
Notes;
This makes about 4 fairly large Naan Breads.

Method;
Throw everything in a bowl and stir!

Top with topping of choice.
Serve warm from the oven as a main with a side salad or have a slice in the fridge to eat cold as a snack
Another great option with this recipe, is to use muffin trays to make individual portions, as it freezes so well and can be taken out as needed or popped into the kids lunchboxes!
