Flax Vegan Egg Substitute

Roosie's Note:

This is a vegan substitute for eggs in baked goods. It could probably work in casseroles too, but don't try scrambled eggs with this! ;)

• Total Time: 6 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 1 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 2 tablesp ...

• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• 2 -3 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. Simmer flax seeds and water in a saucepan for about 5 minutes (or less or more time depending on the amount you are making) or until thick, egg-like consistency has been reached.
2. Let cool before using in a recipe.
3. This recipe makes 1 eggs worth, but it can be easily made into a larger quantity using the 1:3 ratio- for example, 1 cup ground flax seeds and 3 cups water (that would make 16 eggs worth) and will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
4. Use about 1/4 cup (which is equal to 4Tbs) egg substitute for every egg.

WOW this worked like magic! I used it to make Blueberry Banana Bread and it came out perfectly. I will most certainly use this recipe often, as I love that it decreases the cholesterol in baked good such as these!

Great in pancakes and muffins! UPDATE: I just used this in 40 Minute Hamburger Buns for our 4th of July vegan cookout, and they turned out wonderfully!
