Chia egg

Makes 1

Ingredients

1 tbsp chia seeds
2 ½ tbsp water

Method

  1. Add chia seeds to a small dish and add the water. Stir well and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to thicken. It should thicken and become gelatinous.
  2. Use in baking recipes.

Note

It won't work the same way in every recipe because it doesn't bind and stiffen during baking quite like an egg. It works best in pancakes, breads, muffins, some cakes and many other baked recipes. Chia seeds also make a delicious chia pudding, like this Chocolate Chia Pudding.
