Notes
- You don't need to grind your seeds to make this chia egg recipe. However, if you want to hide the texture of the seeds from any pickier eaters, then go for it.
- Or, if you don't want to see them in your finished product, use white seeds instead of black.
- Although you may use a flax egg and chia egg interchangeably in most baked goods recipes, I prefer chia because of it's neutral taste. That said, whatever I have available in the pantry is what I use, so just use what you have!
