Vegan Baking Hack: How To Make Flax Meal "Egg" Substitute For Baking

Yield Ratio: 1:1

Prep Time: 5 minutes

"Zen in the Art of Baking" is a real thing for me. I really love playing with traditional recipes and transforming them into cruelty-free treats. I'm always on the lookout for ways to substitute traditional ingredients. This was one of the first tips I learned when setting out on my vegan adventure.

This baking hack is SUPER easy to execute. Use 2.5 tablespoons of water for every 1 tablespoon of flax meal (ground flax seeds), this formula equals 1 egg. Simply double or triple the amount depending on what your recipe requires.

That's it! I love it when it's easy.

This method worked for me the very first time I tried it and I've been using it ever since.

In-Joy!
