The Flax "Egg"

The flax "egg" is a simple mixture of ground flax seed and water that gels to
bind the other ingredients together. It's a common substitute for eggs in vegan
baked dishes-- and flax increases the fiber content. It is easy to mix up and
add to your recipe. You can even adjust the amount of moisture according to the
notes below.

🧂 Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground flax seed
3 tablespoons water

up to ⅓ cup - see note

Instructions

1 If making the gel, measure the flax seed into a small dish. Pour in the water
while whisking gently. The gel will take a few minutes to form and will continue
to thicken over time.
2 If using in a recipe, add the flax meal with the dry ingredients and the water
with the wet. Or if the recipe already calls for flax meal and there is other
liquid, don't add any extra water unless the batter seems quite dry.
