In reply to Sophia T. Thank you for leaving this comment! I wasn’t having any luck with my food processor, but my coffee grinder did the trick in 30 secs!

In reply to Lana. I don't think you will get the same result.

Hi there, thanks for sharing this. I can’t wait to try it. One question though, could the ground flaxseeds be strained out with cheesecloth or a strainer and still work well?

In reply to Manda. Hi Manda! All my serving information can be found in the recipe details. It's one flax egg per recipe.

How many “eggs” does this recipe make? How do we know how much of the flax seed “egg” mixture to use in say your oat flour waffles recipe where it calls for two eggs?

Thanks for sharing awesome stuff!!

When I make brownies with egg I don’t add any leaning agent because beating the eggs gives me that rise. For my eggless brownie i want to add something to give the rise without using baking soda or powder or milkmaid. What is the best to use along with flax seed to give that rise?

My recipe calls for 3 eggs . It will be helpful if you could let me know what I need to add apart from flax to give a rise.

In reply to Suzannah Kolbeck. Hi Suzannah, It honestly depends on the cake, flours, etc. Typically flax eggs can work in most cases. But I found not with an almond based flour as it's just far too delicate.

I am trying to swap out the eggs in a gluten-free cake recipe (that is already perfect – unless you’re vegan), and I was wondering if oyu have tried flax eggs in cake.

This is so useful as an egg replacement as so many recipes rely on eggs for binding. Modifying recipes to suite dietary requirements can be so tricky when cooking and baking is like science and need to be so specific. I found this post really helpful in understanding what is important for each type of special diet if you’d like to check it out.

In reply to Erin. Hi Erin! I can't speak for anyone else's recipes, but I would never suggest flax eggs with purely almond flour-based baked goods. Substituting a conventional egg might do the trick, but you might need to use several. In my regular flour-based banana bread recipe, for example, it calls for two eggs. My upcoming almond flour-based banana bread recipe calls for four. Almond flour needs a lot of structure. Anyway, hope this makes sense, and I'll be sharing that recipe within the next couple of weeks, so it may be the solution you're looking for!
