Flax Egg / Chia Egg

How to Use Flax and Chia Eggs

A popular plant-based egg replacement made by mixing ground flaxseed or chia seeds with water and letting it gel. Used primarily as a binder in baking.

A flax or chia ‘egg’ is a simple, effective binding agent made by mixing ground seeds (flax or chia) with water. After a few minutes, the mixture forms a gelatinous, egg-like consistency.

This substitute is perfect for baking breads, muffins, and pancakes, as it provides structure to the batter. While they do not ‘lift’ a cake the same way a real egg does, they are excellent at keeping ingredients combined.
