Fast and easy 2-ingredient fluffy flax rolls! The small size guarantees a light, bready interior that is perfect for spreading and filling with endless sweet & savory options. The rolls are vegan, keto, paleo, oil-free, grain-free, nut-free and sugar free (zero grams).

Size matters with bread. This is true for traditional wheat flour recipes of all kinds, but it applies to unconventional breads as well.

Case in point, my 2-Ingredient Flax Sandwich Bread. I recently revised my original recipe, making the single loaf into several smaller loaves. It vastly improved the rise and texture of the bread.

I decided to try another shape shift, from loaves to rolls.

Holy moly. This simple size change–from 3 loaves to 12 rolls–leads to remarkable results. Specifically, fluffy, puffy, evenly risen bread rolls!

I know you will love these simple rolls every bit as much as I do.

Ingredients for the Rolls

The exact amounts of each ingredient are indicated in the recipe card at the end of the post.

• Flaxseed meal (further ground into a very fine flour; directions below)
• Baking powder

You will also need regular tap water. I like to add some salt, but it is entirely optional.

Best Type of Flaxseed Meal for the Bread

Flaxseed meal is typically available in dark and golden varieties. The former is simply labeled “flaxseed meal,” while the latter is specially labeled as “golden flaxseed meal.”

I strongly recommend using golden flaxseed meal for this bread. The darker flaxseed meal works just as well, but the flavor of the golden flaxseed meal is much milder than the dark.

Whichever option you choose, just make sure the flaxseed meal is fresh. The high contention of natural oils in flax can go rancid (and fishy-tasting) if not stored properly. Flaxseed meal should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer once the bag is opened.

How to Make Easy 2-Ingredient Fluffy Flax Rolls

Note that the complete directions are also in the recipe card below.

Step One: Preheat the Oven and Prepare a Muffin Tin

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200C) degrees. Spray twelve cups of a standard size muffin tin.

The muffin tin is another key to the success of the rolls. Surrounded an all sides by hot meal, the rolls rise and puff up evenly. (If you do not have a muffin tin, read the FAQ below; I have options).

Step Two: Grind the Flaxseed Meal into a Fine Flour

This is a very important step. Using a blender or a clean coffee mill, grind the flaxseed meal into a very fine flour. This affects how the texture and rise of the bread.

Step Three: Combine the Dry Ingredients in a Bowl

In a large bowl, whisk together the finely ground flaxseed meal, baking powder, and the (optional) salt.

Step Four: Add the Water

Next, stir in water. It will come together together into a thick, moist dough.

It may not look like enough water, but it is. Do not add more water. The dough will appear somewhat gooey.

Step Five: Divide & Shape the Dough

Divide the dough into twelve equal portions. With damp hands, shape each into a ball.

Step Six: Bake

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 28 to 33 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.

Step Seven: Cool the Rolls

Cool the muffins for 15 minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Transfer the rolls to a cooling rack and cool completely. Pretty impressive, right?

Once the rolls are completely cooled, tear one open. The interior will be light and fluffy. Yippee!

FAQ

How Should I Store the Easy 2-Ingredient Fluffy Flax Rolls?

Store the cooled rolls in an airtight container at (cool) room temperature for 3 days, the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or the freezer for up to 6 months.

How Should Flax Rolls Be Served?

Serve the rolls as you would any other bread rolls! Enjoy them as an accompaniment to meals, salads, and soups, as a snack (solo, or spread with sweet or savory options), or split and filled for small sandwiches.

Can Flaxseed Meal Go Bad?

Yes. Flax seeds are very high in natural oils. If the flaxseed meal is old, or has not been stored properly, it can turn rancid and have a strange flavor and smell (almost fishy in quality).

For best results, use fresh flaxseed meal or flaxseed meal that is properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Can I Grind Flax Meal from Whole Flax Seeds?

Yes. It is best to use a high speed blender or a grain mill. For this recipe, it is important to grind the seeds for a longer period of time so that the results are fine, fluffy flax flour (i.e., not a coarse grind, or flaxseed meal).

Can I Vary the Flax Rolls?

Yes! You can add fresh or dried herbs to the dough. You can also add ground spices (sweet or savory) or garlic or onion powder to the dough. The rolls can also be sprinkled with seeds (e.g., sesame or poppy) or finely chopped nuts.

I Do Not Have a Muffin Tin. Can I Still Make these Rolls?

Yes! The rolls can also be baked on a large baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper (or very lightly spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray).

The rolls may not puff up in a round manner to the same degree as when baked in a muffin tin, but they will still be fluffy.
