Flax “eggs” are an easy substitute in most recipes calling for just one or two eggs. They’re a great option for vegans and those allergic to chicken eggs.
To prepare a flax egg, simply grind some flax seeds, or chia seeds, in a coffee grinder.
Note: Freshly ground seeds work best, over the store-bought milled variety.
For each egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed (measure after grinding) with 3 tablespoons of water.
Stir well, and place in the fridge to set for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, the result should be a sticky egg-like substitute.
Use as you would any egg, and enjoy!

Oh my… that looks, well, really unpleasant actually! LOL But I’m sure it’s a wonderful egg substitute.
When you cook with it, what’s the texture like? Do you get little bits of chia/flax throughout your dishes like putting say, poppy seeds in?
It’s not the same texture as, say, a poppy-seed muffin. Since the chia and flax are finely ground, you get a hint of their flavor, but only a little extra fiber in the baked goods… not a crunchy texture or anything.

Can I use Chia egg in cauliflower pizza
No, it doesn’t sound like that has worked for anyone in the cauliflower pizza recipe comments.
Would the chia eggs work well to replace 3 eggs in a cheesecake recipe?
