Flax as Eggs?

deleted_user

So has anyone ever tried using the flax meal as an egg substitute for baking? It says to use 1 tbsp flax seed meal and add in 3 tbsp warm water and let it sit for 2 minutes then add it in where egg is called for. I bake a lot so I was wondering if anyone had tried this tip yet! Thank You!

I haven't tried cooking without eggs yet. But I also read, if the egg should be used as a binding agent, to use 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp water, and 1 tbsp oil for each egg called for in the recipe.

Let us know how it goes!

Yes, and it works great. I use flaxseed meal every day in every way. It tastes great on everything, thickens stews, soups, tastes great on fruit, you name it.

I've been using daily milled flaxseed meal for four years now, and have gotten my cholesterol to normal.

Excellent product, and it sure helps my cholesterol and triglyerices stay normal.

I have never tried flax, but I do know that very ripe, soft bananas are a fantastic substitute for eggs in baked goods. I have only used bananas.

My main reason for using flaxseed meal daily is the multiple health benefits. I still do some dairy and fish, but flax seed has really helped multple conditions.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
