Egg allergy? Sensitivity? Vegan? You don’t eat eggs? Use a flax egg as an egg replacer in baked goods.
Flax Egg
1 Tbs. ground flax + 3 Tbs. of water = 1 Flax Egg
Replace in any baked recipe that calls for eggs. If a recipe calls for 2 eggs, double the formula above. 3 eggs? Triple it, etc.
To make your flax eggs, grind whole flax seeds in a coffee grinder or use *pre-ground flax and mix the amount of ground flax you need with the right amount of water in a bowl and wait a few minutes for the water and flax to gel and get gooey. Once it sets, you’ve just made the easiest egg replacer on the planet!
I took an IgG food allergy/sensitivity test and it came back showing a huge egg allergy. It was almost the death of me. I LOVE eggs. Love them. Until I heal this allergy, I depend on flax eggs. Flax eggs have saved me in the baking area.
Do you have an intolerance/issue with eggs? If you’re like me and depend on a replacer, raise a glass to the flax! 😉
*If buying pre-ground flax, store in the freezer to keep the flax from rancidity.

Hi Rama! I absolutely love this post. Although I’m not allergic to eggs, I am a strict vegan, so this is going to be essential for me, especially if I want to bake (which I love to do)! Thank you so much for this! Best wishes -Britt
Hey, Brittany! Awesome! You can also use chia seeds using the exact measurements. Just play around with it and see what works best for baking :)-Rama
