Chia Egg
What’s a chia egg?
If you’re looking to get into vegan baking, you should know what a chia egg is and how to use it!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 1/2 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Add chia seeds to a small dish and top with water. Stir and let rest for 5 minute to thicken. It should be gel-like and thick.
- It’s not an exact 1:1 substitution in every recipe because it doesn’t bind and stiffen during baking quite like an egg does. But, similar to a flax egg, it works well in pancakes, quick breads, muffins, cookies, and many other baked recipes. Chia seeds also make a delicious chia pudding, (like this)
Always, eat to live!
