Ground Flax Egg Substitute Recipes

Flax seed egg substitute mostly works in recipes which does not require a light/fluffy texture. I personally use flax egg replacement in recipes in which eggs are used as a binding agent, rather than as a leavening agent or for moisture.

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.

This is a vegan substitute for eggs in baked goods. It could probably work in casseroles too, but don't try scrambled eggs with this! ;)

While I was searching for an egg substitute so that I could make recipes healthier for myself, I ran into this simple and easy recipe. I found this recipe at the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/flaxseed-egg-substitute.html Care2 says: Using flax seeds in place of eggs is a great vegan trick for baking, but you don't have to be vegan to benefit from this great substitution. Flax seeds are a nutritional powerhouse and sneaking some into baked goods is an easy way to get some of their wonderful nutrients into your diet. Read on for an easy tip on how to substitute flaxseeds for eggs. Flaxseeds are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid that appears to be beneficial for heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other health conditions. They also contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may play a role in the prevention of cancer. With all of this goodness, it seems like a great idea to get flax seeds into one's diet in any way possible. One great way is to use flax seeds in place of eggs in baked goods.
