Flax Egg Substitute

VS





If you are vegan than of course you have to find alternative ways to prepare your baked goods without the use of eggs, milk, and butter. And of course this is the time of year for baking, so I thought it would be appropriate to share an easy egg replacement tip.

Using packaged egg replacements you see in grocery stores is an easy way to sub an egg, but the ingredients scare me a little. I am not exactly sure what I am about to put into my recipe! 
Using ground flaxseed and water is an easier and natural substitution for an egg.


Use this tip even if you aren't a vegan and just want to up the nutrition and eliminate the cholesterol in your recipe.

1 EGG

Ingredients:
2 Tbls Ground Flaxseed
1/2 Hot water

Directions:
Soak the ground flaxseed in the hot water for 10 minutes until it becomes a gel like consistency.
Whip the mixture with a whisk to bring the consistency to resemble an egg white.

Now add to any recipe that calls for an egg!
