High fibre gluten free bread recipes

I have been working on trying to increase my fibre intake recently, so I looked into developing a high fibre gluten free bread recipe. Low and behold, a number of my loaves are already high in fibre, so I figured I would instead create a roundup of all my high fibre gluten free bread recipes.

High fibre gluten free bread recipes

These gluten free bread recipes are all gluten free, xanthan gum free, nut free and vegan. Some of the recipes (spoiler alert, the highest fibre ones) contain a variety of seeds. The seeds are for flavour and the fibre boost is simply an added bonus!

What counts as high fibre?

I thought this was worth discussing because I found it hard to determine. After researching the standards for products on Australia, it seems that a serve of bread can be considered high in fibre if it contains around 3-7g of fibre per serve.

With a loaf of bread, it does depend somewhat on how thick you slice your bread. I will provide the total fibre content for the loaf and suggest roughly how much fibre you will get from 1 and 2 slices of bread. I generally slice my loaves into 10-12 slices.

Something to note is that the fibre content can differ a little bit from brand to brand. The brands I used may have slightly more or less fibre than the ones you use.

I calculate the fibre of the recipes using My Fitness Pal. If you input the ingredients and scroll down to ‘view full report’ you can see how much fibre is in any given recipe with the ingredients specified. If you want to know exactly how much fibre is in the bread with the ingredients you have used, this is what I recommend.

Note that I do not provide full nutrition panels for recipes. If you’d like these, I again recommend My Fitness Pal.

Gluten free high fibre breads

Let’s get straight into it! Just to refresh, the fibre content per slice assumes that you will cut the loaf into 10-12 slices.

Gluten free buckwheat seeded bread

The fibre content of this bread does depend a little on how many seeds and what varieties you use. For clarity, I have entered the seed content as follows in My Fitness Pal: 50g sesame seeds, 50g pepitas, 50g hemp seeds and 50g chia seeds.

This loaf contains an approximate (and whopping) 98g fibre per loaf. This equates to approximately 8.1-9.8g fibre per slice and 16.3g fibre for two pieces. Given that the daily fibre goal for an adult female is 25g (and 35g for an adult male) this bread packs a fibre punch.

Gluten free seeded bread

For speed and ease, I am going to assume that you’re using a similar seed mix as above here. Which is, to refresh, 50g sesame seeds, 50g pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and 50g chia seeds.

With the seeds above used, this bread contains approximately 88.4g fibre per loaf. This means that 1 slice contains 7.3-8.8g fibre. Two slices contain approximately 14.6-17.6g fibre.

Gluten free teff bread

This nutty and lofty teff flour loaf contains approximately 68g fibre per loaf. This means that one slice contains around 5.6-6.8g fibre, and two slices contain 11.2-13.6g fibre. Not bad!

Gluten free buckwheat bread

This easy and delicious buckwheat bread recipe contains approximately 70g fibre per loaf. This means you are getting between 5.8-7g fibre per slice (and 11.6-14g fibre for two pieces of toast).

Gluten free buckwheat cinnamon raisin bread

This delicious bread contains over 88g of fibre for the entire loaf. This equates to 7.3g-8.8g fibre per slice, which is 14.6-17.6g fibre for two slices.

This is a recipe in my second buckwheat flour e-book.

Gluten free buckwheat wraps

These buckwheat wraps are one of my favourite easy lunch recipes. The recipe makes 5 wraps and contains approximately 31g protein for all 5 wraps. This equates to approximately 6.2g fibre per wrap.

Gluten free quinoa wraps

These quinoa wraps contain approximately 24g fibre for all 5 wraps. This equates to approximately 4.8g fibre per wrap.

Gluten free seeded pumpkin loaf

This easy loaf recipe uses buckwheat flour, psyllium husk and pumpkin puree to form the basis of the loaf. The added seeds add some extra nutrition and fibre. This bread contains approximately 83g fibre per loaf. This equates to around 6.9g- 8.3g fibre per slice. This, of course, equates to 13.8-16.6g for two slices.

This is a recipe from my second buckwheat flour e-book.

Gluten free teff wraps

These teff wraps contain approximately 27g fibre for all 5 wraps. This means each wrap contains approximately 5.4g fibre per wrap.

Gluten free vegan high protein bread

If you use the optional hemp seeds, this gluten free vegan high protein bread contains approximately 103g fibre per serve. This means that a slice contains around 8.5-10.3g fibre. Two slices in the morning contain anywhere from 17-20.6g fibre. Huge!

Gluten free buckwheat bagels

These bagels are made with 100% buckwheat flour and psyllium husk powder to aid in binding. The recipe makes 8 bagels and contains approximately 70g fibre. This means that each bagel contains approximately 8.75g fibre.
