Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

In a small bowl, vigorously whisk together the very warm water and ground flax seeds until thoroughly combined. (Approximately 30 seconds)

02

Step
2 hrs

Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for about 2 minutes, during which it will begin to thicken.

03

Step
30 mins

Whisk the mixture again for about 30 seconds to ensure a smooth, even consistency.

04

Step
2 hrs

Let the mixture sit for another 2 minutes to fully thicken into an egg-like consistency.

For best results, store your ground flax seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
This flax egg substitute works best in recipes that call for 1-2 eggs. For recipes requiring more eggs, you may need to experiment with additional binders.
Feel free to adjust the water slightly to achieve your desired consistency. The mixture should be viscous and slightly gelatinous.
Use immediately in your favorite baking recipes for optimal results.
