Wonderful substitute for eggs, especially in cookies, brownies, muffins and breads. It works every time. Store ground flax seeds in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.

3 tablespoons very warm water

Recipe Tip

If you are nervous about using a ground flax egg substitute in your recipe, start by replacing only half of the eggs called for. The flax seed will affect the color and add a nutty taste (plus great nutrition!), but it has no effect on texture, rising, or baking times.
