Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed also known as flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoon water
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Mix it up: combine flaxseed and water and stir. 
  • Wait it out: Let sit for at least 10 minutes until it forms a thick consistency. 

Notes

  • Flax "eggs" cannot be substituted for eggs in all recipes because they do not provide the structure and lift that eggs provide.  
  • This is not my original recipe, I've adapted it from various baking blogs and cookbooks.
