Sandwich Rounds - Au Naturale!

7/25/2014

 
Sandwich Rounds!  (Gluten & grain free, low-carb).  By Jenny at www.AuNaturaleNutrition.com

​A couple years ago, sandwich rounds became all the rage.  I think they're definitely here to stay. Because everyone likes a good sandwich (even us "health nuts" and gluten-free peeps), I have a great recipe here for you, too.  They're not made like store-bought sandwich rounds with refined flour that will spike blood sugar and cause inflammation, nor toxic preservatives.  Just good whole foods here!  Mostly flax meal, coconut flour, and eggs.  

This is a great option for your kids, so they can bring a sandwich to school, and still look like the other kiddos (but be much healthier).  Word has it that grown-ups like them too.  ;-)

Muffin Top Pans are needed to make the rounds.  The recipe makes 6, but I have 2 pans, so I double the recipe to make 12. (Most muffin recipes make a dozen, which is why I have 2 muffin top pans.)    Plus, when I take the time to bake something from scratch, I make a lot (usually a double or triple batch), and freeze some for later.

​
​The Muffin Top Pans hold the same volume of batter as a regular muffin. So, you can use the pans later to make any of my other muffin recipes, like blueberry, lemon, or strawberry.  My cornbread recipe (with no actual corn involved) is also out of this world!!

​Sandwich Rounds Recipe (Makes 6)

This delicious recipe is gluten and grain free.  Low-carb, too!   
They are yummy as-is or even better when toasted.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup golden flax meal (I always use sprouted flax meal)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (find it here)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp ranch seasoning (optional) (see my recipe to make it yourself)
  • 1 tsp organic seasoned salt (find it here) (omit or use less if you use the ranch seasoning)
  • 6 pastured eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter, ghee, or coconut oil  (Tropical Traditions)
  • sesame seeds, caraway seeds, or poppy seeds (to sprinkle on top)

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease your muffin top pan(s) very well. 
  3. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
  4. Use an electric mixer & add in the eggs and butter/ghee until well combined.
  5. Scoop batter into the muffin top pan(s). (Use about 1/3 cup for each of the rounds.)
  6. Flatten with a rubber spatula.
  7. Sprinkle on the optional toppings.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  9. Allow the the sandwich rounds to cool. 
  10. Carefully slice them in half when ready to eat. YUM!

Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

One serving has approx 7g carbs with 4 g fiber, for a net carb count of 3 carbs.

Just the kind of recipe I have been looking for. I have been making sandwich buns for the last six months, but sometimes almond flour just feels too heavy in my stomach. Now I have a great alternative. I will break out my muffin top pans and make these this week. Thank you for so many recipes that sound so good.

Can you tell me the carb count on these? They sound great?

Paula
7/26/2014 07:24:43 am

According to the recipe creator on MyFitnessPal, one serving has 7 carbs with 4 fibers for a net carb count of 3 carbs. Can't wait to try this.

Jenny

Wow! Thank you for doing the calculations for me, Paula!

Thanks, Mari! I hope you'll come back to tell me how you liked them.

Is the muffin top split in half, or does the sandwich consist of two muffin tops?

Jenny

I cut the muffin top in half. ;-)

Thank you so much!

Thank you. We are new to the "Gluten free" world and I am not impressed with a lot of the bread-like recipes. I like this one and it is perfect for breakfast muffins or sliders. I didn't use golden flax so mine are darker than your picture but I still love these so much!

Jenny

You're very welcome! I'm so glad you like the sandwich rounds, Karen, and have found versatile uses for them, YAY! I often simply put them in the toaster and spread them with ghee. Thanks for letting me know you enjoy them & reading my blog. God bless!

Just made a batch of these.... Great consistency, and color, but I think the seasoning salt is way over powering. I think i would add 1/4 of what it calls for, maybe even none since there is ranch in there. Other than that these are excellent.

Thanks, Kerri!

What are the calories per muffin please? I will try these but dieting !

Jenny

Hi Daniel,
I don't know the calorie count; they are very low in carbs.
I don't believe in counting calories for weight loss, because not all calories are created equal. Read much more in my post here:
http://www.aunaturalenutrition.com/blog/weight-loss-myth-1

For fat loss, I think it's more important to eliminate refined carbs and limit starchy carbs. Basically, reexamine the quality of your food & macronutrient ratios.
Thanks for reading & I hope you like them!

Just wondering what the actual carb count is? They look delish!!

Jenny
8/26/2015 09:04:33 am

HI Teresa, another reader calculated the carbs:
one serving has 7 carbs with 4 fibers for a net carb count of 3 carbs.
Enjoy!!

These are so great - I've made them several times now and liking them more and more. Thanks.

Jenny

Thank you, Suzanne! I'm so happy you like them enough to make them a regular at your house. I appreciate your comment!

Is there an alternative to golden flax meal?

Jenny
3/10/2015 09:21:42 am

hi Summer, I like the flax in this recipe because of the nice fiber in it. You can try other grain free flours (like almond flour) but may get a different result. Good luck & thanks for reading!

Does anyone know if ground chia seeds can be used in place of flax meal? Flax makes me run to the bathroom if you know what I mean.

Jenny
4/14/2015 03:38:03 am

I think ground chis seeds may be an excellent substitute for flax! Great suggestion, Angel. Please let me know how they turn out!

Hi! I have a pair of questions. I'm from Mexico, so I'm not pretty sure if "Cold Milled Ground Flaxseed" is the same that "Golden Flax Meal". I want to taste them!
Thanks!

Jenny
10/28/2015 07:03:29 am

Hi Lux, I just saw this question. Sorry for the slow response. Regular flax seed is dark brown with a strong flavor. Golden flax is much lighter in color and flavor. So, unless it says "golden", it probably isn't. Good luck!
