A step-by-step tutorial of how to make a flax egg, egg substitute for baking!
| PREP TIME 5 mins | Total Time 5 mins |
| Ingredients 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal (ground raw flaxseed) 2 1/2 Tbsp water | Instructions 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. |
Notes
*This is not my original recipe, but one I discovered on many vegan baking blogs and have since adapted for my own use.

That is really cool and I did not know that! I use vinegar and baking soda sometimes, that works as well, in some cakes for example. :))
