Notes

  • To make flax eggs instead of regular eggs, simply scoop 2 TBSP of ground flax into a small bowl and add 6 TBSP of water, whisking to combine.
  • flax eggs
  • Place in the fridge for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. When you remove the "eggs" from the fridge, stir gently with a fork. Once it reaches an eggy consistency you're good to go!
