Flax Egg

How to make a flax egg substitute for baking and other recipes. A flax egg is a great vegan egg substitute for baking cookies, brownies, pancakes, and more.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon flax meal
  • 3 tablespoons warm water

Instructions

  1. Place the flax meal in a small bowl.
  2. Pour the water over the flax meal and whisk to combine.
  3. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until gelatinous.
  4. Use to replace 1 egg.

Notes

To grind fresh flax meal, simply blend whole flaxseeds in a blender, coffee grinder, or spice grinder.

Your flax egg will gel faster when using warm water.

Flax eggs work well for cookies, brownies, pancakes, and muffins. They do not work well for all recipes, especially those that are egg-based such as omelets, or require more than 2 eggs.
