Fleggs - flax seed egg substitute

Fleggs

Fleggs are a great egg substitute for baking. One flegg is equal to one egg. You can make either with ground flax seeds or whole flax seeds you grind yourself. Examples of both, below.

INGREDIENTS - for one flegg

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

3 tablespoons water

PREPARATION - for one flegg

  • Combine ground flax seed and water in a small bowl. Mix well and let sit for a few minutes until thick and gooey.

For multiple fleggs, made with whole flax seeds

For recipes calling for more than one egg. Fleggs freeze really well—mix up a batch and freeze in one or two-flegg portions.


INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup whole flax seeds

1 cup water

PREPARATION 

  • Whirr flax seeds in a blender until ground.

  • With blender running, pour in water.

  • Blend until combined.

  • Three tablespoons of this goey mixture equals one flegg.

  • Use immediately or freeze in one or two-flegg portions.
