Ok, let me just say that I’m super excited about this recipe! Here’s why:
- Yes, this is a grain-free AND gluten-free recipe that can be used to make several different culinary creations — from pizza, to flatbreads, to pancakes, to wraps, to sandwiches…and wherever your creativity takes you.
- It literally only takes like 5 minutes to make — um, yes please!!
- It’s packed with fiber & high-quality protein.
- I’m still in awe of how AMAZING it tastes (especially considering how healthy it is & how easy it is to make)!
I have to give major props & credit to my best friends, Chris & Lauren, for creating this gluten-free recipe. In our circle, this masterpiece is affectionately known as “Egg Bread” (I guess because it’s made with eggs & is kinda like a type of bread…?) 🙃 Regardless of what you wanna call it, it’s freaking fantastic & revolutionary!

“Egg Bread”: The Basic Recipe
Ingredients
Makes 1 serving:
- 2 organic free-range eggs
- 2 tbsp. psyllium husk (you can find it here)
- 1 tbsp. coconut flour
- Sea salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
- Optional: up to 1 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar or water
- Organic virgin coconut oil (to cook with)
Directions
- Mix the psyllium husk, coconut flour, salt, & pepper with a spoon in a small bowl.
- Add the eggs to the bowl, & mix well with the spoon (until the psyllium husk absorbs the egg liquids).
- Optional: add a small amount of apple cider vinegar or water to make the batter a little more liquidy. (I typically add about 1-2 capfuls of apple cider vinegar).
- In a small pan, melt some coconut oil (1-2 tbsp.) over medium heat.
- Pour & spoon out the batter into the pan, spreading it out as evenly as possible into a thin circular layer.
- Cook until edges start turning golden-brown & it looks more solid (usually only takes a couple minutes).
- Flip with a spatula & cook the other side for about a minute or until desired consistency.
- From there, you can turn it into whatever foodie delight your heart desires! ☺️
Variations: Gluten-Free Pizza & Pancakes & Flatbreads — Oh My!
Make A Mini Pizza
To make your “egg bread” into a fun-sized mini pizza, just add some pizza sauce, cheese, & any other toppings that float your boat! I’d recommend adding the sauce & cheese while the second side of the egg bread is cooking, so that it can warm up & the cheese can melt.
Make sure you check the ingredients when buying pizza sauce — find one without any added sugars or unhealthy oils (like canola oil). This is one of my favorite brands (& so many amazing flavors!).
If you’re using cheese, make sure it’s organic, grass-fed cheese (& raw if possible). The absolute healthiest cheese on the planet (that I completely adore!) can be found here!
Use It As A Wrap, Bun, Or Soft Taco Shell
After your egg bread is cooked, you can add toppings/fillings & fold the egg bread around it to form a wrap or soft taco shell.
You can also use it in place of a bun (which are usually filled with refined grains & gluten, and cause a ton of inflammation & health issues).
Recently, while celebrating our sweet puppy’s 1st birthday, we paired this makeshift “bun” with organic, grass-fed beef hot dogs, organic ketchup, mustard, & raw sauerkraut — and it was BOMB! 🤗
Eat It Like A Flatbread
You can keep the egg bread flat & add whatever toppings you’d like (sauces, spices, veggies, herbs, meat, etc.) — and eat is like a flatbread.
My bestie, Lauren, created the beautiful flatbread below (on the left) — a “Veggie Panini”, she called it. YUM!!!
Make It A Pancake
This is one I haven’t experimented with too much yet, but I think it could work great as a healthy pancake alternative.
Instead of salt & pepper in the batter, you could add some stevia, xylitol, or erythritol to sweeten it. I’d also add some cinnamon, & some Lily’s stevia-sweetened chocolate chips (because everything’s better with chocolate chips! 🙃).
Once the “pancake” is cooked, you could top it with your favorite flapjack toppings — like raw organic honey, some organic local maple syrup, organic grass-fed butter, fresh berries, more chocolate chips (yes, please!), or Honey Coconut Icing — sooo scrumptious!! 😋
Use Instead Of Bread
This “egg bread” recipe is fairly “bread-like” (as the name implies) & pretty sturdy. You could make 1 serving of it, cut it in half, & use it as 2 pieces of bread for a sandwich.
OR, you could just keep it flat like a single piece of “bread”, and smother it in your favorite bread topping (like raw almond butter, homemade sugar-free jam, or my favorite — organic grass-fed butter). Simple & delish!!
Experiment!
The variations & combinations that you can create using this grain-free, gluten-free “egg bread” recipe as a base are endless!
You can experiment with different flavors: Try adding different spices to the batter. Make it savory. Make it sweet. Add cheese to the batter!
You can experiment with different toppings/fillings: Mix it up with different veggies, herbs, sauces, meats, etc. on your pizza or flatbread, or in your wrap, taco, or bun. Try a variety of different pancake toppings, or even adding some fillings to the batter.
And you can try to create some additional uses: I’ve mentioned a handful of different ways to use “egg bread” — pizza, wrap, bun, taco, flatbread, pancake… — but I’m sure there are other creative & delicious things you could make with this versatile gluten-free recipe!
