Ground Flax Egg Substitute

Ground Flax Egg Substitute

Wonderful substitute for eggs, especially in cookies, brownies, muffins and breads. It works every time. Store ground flax seeds in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Total Time:

Yield:
1 flax egg
Servings:
1

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons very warm water
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds

Directions

Step 1
Whisk water and ground flax seeds together in a bowl until combined, about 30 seconds. Let sit until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 2
Whisk again, about 30 seconds. Let sit until thickened, about 2 minutes more.

Cook’s Note:

If you are nervous about the effect, start by replacing only half of the egg called for in a recipe. The flax seed will affect the color and add a nutty taste (plus great nutrition!) but has no effect on texture, rising or baking times.
