Ground Flax/Egg Substitute

Source: Noelvn's Vegan site

 

Many vegan baking books suggest the use of ground flax seeds mixed with

water as an egg substitute. I've tried this, and it is a good method for

making baked goods that rise well and have a good texture. The down side is

that the flax seeds have a strong and distinctive flavor, which is good in

things that are meant to taste granola-ish, but not so good in things with

more delicate flavors. I recommend this method for baked goods which get a

lot of their flavor by nuts and seeds.

 

1 Tbs. ground flax seeds plus 3 Tbs. water replaces one egg.

That's 5 ml milled flaxseed plus 45 ml water

 

Mix them together, and let it sit a couple of minutes (it gets wiggly!),

then add as you would eggs
