Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Flax eggs generally work well as a substitute for eggs in recipes that call for one or two eggs like pancakes, muffins and quick breads. Flax eggs also work nicely in veggie burgers or patties. Recipes that call for more than two eggs or baking recipes that do not call for flour may not react as well when flax eggs are used.
