Eggs with flax seeds

There's no doubt that eggs are a popular baking ingredient. They help give meals structure, and the concept of eliminating them entirely may be perplexing at first. However, you'll be pleased to know that flaxseeds are a good egg substitute for a variety of reasons: They serve as a binder, emulsifier, and leavener, making them a very useful component in vegan baking.

Simply cook your flaxseeds in a pot with water for about five minutes, or until they become a thick, gel-like consistency. Make sure to first grind them down in a grinder. If you buy them already ground, put them in the fridge or freezer right away since flax oil oxidizes and goes rancid rapidly. If you don't want your baked items to darken, choose golden flaxseeds instead of brown. Chia seeds may also be used as an egg substitute since they have a similar texture that helps hold dishes together by giving structure and sticking force.
