Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 3 tablespoons very warm water

  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds


Directions

  1. Whisk water and ground flax seeds together in a bowl until combined, about 30 seconds. Let sit until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

  2. Whisk again, about 30 seconds. Let sit until thickened, about 2 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

If you are nervous about the effect, start by replacing only half of the egg called for in a recipe. The flax seed will affect the color and add a nutty taste (plus great nutrition!) but has no effect on texture, rising or baking times.
