How to Make Flax Egg
Description
The flax egg consists of 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, whisked together and left to sit at room temperature or refrigerated for 15 minutes or longer to thicken into a gel-like consistency. This mixture can be used as a one-for-one egg replacement in baking recipes, helping to bind ingredients similarly to eggs.
This flax egg method is a simple, whole-food substitute ideal for vegan or egg-free baking. It does not contribute additional flavors beyond a mild nuttiness and works well in muffins, cakes, cookies, and similar baked goods.
Preparation flexibility allows resting at room temperature for 15 minutes or storing in the refrigerator uncovered or covered overnight without negatively affecting the consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed ground
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Placed ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Notes
- Combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and whisk well.
- Let rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate uncovered to thicken.
