Flax Egg

A step-by-step tutorial of how to make a flax egg, egg substitute for baking.

1 Tbsp. flaxseed meal (ground raw flaxseed)
2½ Tbsp. water

Add flaxseed meal and water to a dish and stir. Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken. Add to recipes in place of 1 egg (as original recipe is written).

It’s not an exact 1:1 substitution in every recipe because it doesn’t bind and stiffen during baking quite like an egg does. But I’ve found it to work incredibly well in pancakes, quick breads, brownies, muffins, cookies, and many other recipes.
