In case you didn’t know: You can use ground flaxseed meal in baked goods as a substitute for eggs. A 1-pound package is the equivalent of 70 eggs and costs less than $5 US. 🐣

1 egg = 1 tablespoon flaxseed + 3 tablespoons warm water

@czarbucks Works really well and is pretty easy. The trick is to mix the flaxseed and warm/hot water together first, then allow the mixture to sit and thicken for a few minutes, then add it to the baking ingredients like eggs. And the package lasts forever in the refrigerator.

@SunnJax @czarbucks

Exactly what I was going to say. I use three tablespoons 120+ degree water to one tablespoon of flax seed. Let it sit foe five minutes before you use it.

I do the same egg substitute with Chia seeds. Great in most recipes, especially baking.

@mark_ohe I never thought of chia seeds. Good suggestion!

@SunnJax They become very gooey, just like eggs, when mixed with the same amount of warm water as you use for ground flax seeds. The Chia seeds do not need to be ground however.
