How to Make A Flax Egg
Servings: 1 egg
Try a flax egg in your next recipe to replace traditional eggs and enjoy an easy vegan substitute. These 'eggs' are great swaps in recipes that use eggs as a binding agent.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Whisk together 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with 3 tablespoons water.
- Soak the mixture for 10 minutes to create a sticky, gelatinous texture.
Notes
- Each flax egg replaces 1 regular egg.
- If you've got whole flaxseed then grind them up using a food processor or spice grinder before combining with water.
- This kind of egg substitute works best for recipes that use egg for 'binding.'
