Flax eggs! One of my favorite vegan substitutes for baking!
Some how the consistency always comes out spot on! And to top it off, it’s cheap! One 200g bag can be as low as 0.90€ cents! Yay. The only problem is that I have yet to find a place where they sell flax meal. (If anyone in the Tallinn area knows, do send me an email or DM on Instagram 😉) However if you got a handy dandy coffee grinder finding flax meal is not a problem!
Here I’ll show you how to make your own flax egg from scratch.
You will need:
For Flax Meal
- Coffee grinder
- 50g-100g Flax seeds
For Flax Egg
- 1 tablespoon flax meal
- 2 tablespoons water
That’s it.
You may wonder why I don’t grind the whole bag at once. Well that’s because flax meal “technically” only lasts about a week or so. However, that being said, I have used flax meal after a month and it has been fine. As long as it smells fine and tastes fine you’re good to go. But I would still recommend making smaller batches so not to waste.
Flax Egg
Tools:
Coffee grinder (if you only have flax seeds)
Ingredients:
(FOR FLAX MEAL)
50-100g flax seeds
(FOR FLAX EGG)
1 tablespoon flax meal
2 tablespoons water
Instructions:
1. Pour 50-100g flax seeds into grinder.
2. Grind for about 10 seconds or until fine and soft.
3. Pour into jar or container.
4. Measure out 1 tablespoon of flax meal into a small, deep dish. (I use a soy sauce dish.)
5. Add 2 tablespoons water and mix together.
6. Set in the fridge for 10 min and you’re ready!
*flax meal normally lasts 1-2 weeks so it’s best to grind a small amount at a time unless you use it regularly.
