How to Make Flax Meal in a Blender: A quick and easy tutorial for making flax meal! Grind flax seeds in a blender to make your own flax meal or flax powder.

During the cold months I have oatmeal for breakfast. Once the weather warms up, I start having a berry smoothie each morning for breakfast. But no matter the weather, I always add flaxmeal to my breakfast. I like to add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal to my oatmeal or smoothies because it is an easy way to add fiber, anti-oxidants, and healthy fats to my diet. You can read about more of the health benefits of flax seeds here.

This morning as I was getting ready to make my smoothie, I discovered that I was out of flax meal. I was about to do without, but then I remembered that I had Bob’s Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseeds in my pantry and could make my own flax meal using my KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Blender.

How to Make Flax Meal in a Blender

It only takes 20 seconds to grind flax seeds in a blender and make flax meal (or flax powder as it is sometimes called). You can use brown flaxseeds or golden flaxseeds to make flax meal.

Ingredients:

1 cups of flaxseeds

Directions:

Place the flaxseeds in the blender pitcher. Blend on high (speed 5 on my KitchenAid Blender, but it may be 10 on your blender) for 20 seconds or until the seeds are ground and resemble powder.

    Sorry I should really edit my comments before posting. I apologize for the lame typos…my auto-correct apparently loves to make me sound like a ding a ling 🤪

    Thanks for the simple How To! I need a ground flax seeds for a recipe, and flax seed post made it really easy.
    Also, in your description below the recipe I think you may have a typo: Scatch instead of scratch? Or maybe it was intended. If so, disregard.
    Either way thanks again, and have a wonderful day!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
