ground flaxseeds,* also known as flaxseed meal

water

Combine the ground flax and water in a small bowl (if your recipe calls for multiple eggs, just multiply the ingredients as necessary and mix in the same bowl). Stir with a fork until combined.

Let the mixture rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes, until it&#8217;s somewhat &#8220;gloppy&#8221; or congealed. Use in place of the eggs in your baking project!

Thanks for this. I’ve been substituting a flax egg in your muffins (banana and blueberry) and they turn out great!

I use a coffee grinder to grind up mine; that way you can use a smaller portion!

Thank you so much for this thorough write up on flax eggs. I just tried it in a cookie recipe and they came out great!
I know you have a broad audience, but I now really appreciate when you offer plant-based/vegan options. After watching The Game Changers and Forks Over Knives, my wife and I have switched to a plant-based diet. I’ve had to make changes to a number of your delicious recipes, but so far making it work. Thanks again, Erik

Thank you so much for this post! I’ve been baking so much with flax eggs over the last few months since finding out my daughter has an egg allergy. They really do work great for most baked goods. Loved reading more about them here!

Thanks for posting this flax egg recipe and the thorough explanation. I have an egg free client that I cook for and this will really come in handy.

Thanks Kate for this , I love using Flax Eggs but I find that it works well with recipes under two eggs ...

I recently made a banana bread recipe using flax eggs with almond flour and the outside was perfectly cooked but the inside was still gooey. Why would the recipe call for flax egg if it typically doesn’t work out well and would subbing a conventional egg prevent this problem?
