Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 Tbsp flaxseed meal ((ground raw flaxseed))
2 1/2 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • Add flaxseed meal and water to a dish and stir. Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken. Add to recipes in place of 1 egg (as original recipe is written).
  • It's not an exact 1:1 substitution in every recipe because it doesn't bind and stiffen during baking quite like an egg does. But I've found it to work incredibly well in pancakes, quick breads, brownies, muffins, cookies, and many other recipes.

This is a vegan substitute for eggs in baked goods. It could probably work in casseroles too, but don't try scrambled eggs with this! ;)

Time 20m

Yield 2 tablespoons

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
2 -3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Simmer flax seeds and water in a saucepan for about 5 minutes (or less or more time depending on the amount you are making) or until thick, egg-like consistency has been reached.
  • Let cool before using in a recipe.** (About 10 minutes).
  • This recipe makes 1 eggs worth, but it can be easily made into a larger quantity using the 1:3 ratio- for example, 1 cup ground flax seeds and 3 cups water (that would make 16 eggs worth) and will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
  • Use about 1/4 cup (which is equal to 4Tbs) egg substitute for every egg.
