Learn how to make a flax egg! This simple egg substitute is a staple for vegan baking. They work wonders in flour-based recipes that call for 1 or 2 eggs, like pancakes and muffins. However, flax eggs might not be the best option for recipes needing more than 2 eggs, like airy cakes, as they don’t provide the same leavening power.
1 tablespoon (7g) flaxseed meal
3 tablespoons (45ml) water
1Stir the flaxseed meal and water together in a small bowl.
2Place in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes or until the mixture is thick. Stir again, and then use in your favorite baking recipe.
