Recipe Information
Ingredients

- 2.5 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Measure out 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed into a small bowl or cup.
Add 2.5 tablespoons of water to the flaxseed and stir well to combine.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flaxseed to absorb the water and form a gel-like consistency.
Once thickened, use the mixture as a replacement for one egg in your baking recipes.
