To make a “flax egg,” you’ll need to combine ground flax seed (aka flaxseed meal) with water and let the mixture sit until it thickens to create an egg-like texture (see “How to Use” below).
It’s best to grind these seeds yourself using a small blender or spice grinder; the high fat content in flax causes the pre-ground meal to go rancid quickly, which can cause oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
How to Use:
- 1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg
- Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken
Best in: brownies, muffins, cookies, loaf cakes
