Flaxseed egg

Ingredient

Also known as: flax egg · linseed egg

A vegan egg substitute made by combining one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with three tablespoons of water and leaving the mixture to gel for five minutes. The resulting thick slurry mimics the binding properties of a hen's egg in baked goods such as muffins, cookies, and quick breads. It adds a very mild nutty flavour and a small amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
