Notes
- Note that the recipe for the chia egg substitute states that you should let the chia egg sit for 5 - 15 minutes. Actually, you can even make it up the night before if you like.
- If you make the chia egg the same day that you are going to be using it, I recommend making it at the start of your baking / cooking so that it's ready to use when it comes time to add it to the rest of the ingredients.
