Notes

This recipe makes one egg replacement to be used in baked goods. It acts as a binding agent in batters, quick breads, dough and more.

You can double this recipe as needed. Using more than 2 flax/chia eggs in a recipe may not give the results you would like (but experiment because it may turn out perfect!).

If you have whole flax seeds you can grind them in a coffee grinder to make flaxseed meal.
