Servings: 1 Egg

Equipment

  • Small Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 tbs flaxseed meal (also called ground flaxseed)
  • 3 tbs hot water

Instructions

  • Add together the flaxseed meal and hot water. The water does not have to be boiling, as hot as you can get it from the sink works.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes, or until it has started to thicken up, and become a gooey, goopy texture.
  • This makes enough to replace one egg, so scale up as you need for your baking.
