Flax Egg
Description
The Flax Egg recipe uses ground flax meal and water combined to create a gel-like consistency that mimics the binding properties of a chicken egg. By mixing 1 tablespoon of flax meal with 3 tablespoons of water and chilling the mixture for at least 15 to 20 minutes, it forms a thickened, eggy texture. This preparation works well to bind ingredients in baked goods or other recipes where eggs are typically called for. The process is straightforward and requires minimal ingredients, making it a useful staple for plant-based or allergy-friendly cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP flax meal ground
- 3 TBSP water
Instructions
- To make your flax egg, scoop 1 tablespoon of ground flax into a small bowl and slowly add 3 tablespoons of water, whisking as you combine.
- Place in the fridge for a minimum of 15-20 minutes or an hour if you plan ahead.
- Once it reaches an eggy, gelatinous consistency you're ready to go!
