How to make a flax egg
Making a flax egg is simple and quick! For one flax egg, combine 1 Tbsp of ground flax with 2.5 Tbsp water. Stir really well and let sit on the counter or fridge for 10-15 minutes to thicken.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry, place it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
The texture should be thick and gooey, similar to an egg.
