Prep Time: 2 minutes
Prep Notes
A chia “egg” is simply a substitute for an egg in a baked good recipe. I started using this swap with my youngest two kids being egg-allergic. It’s a boost of nutrition and such an easy hack for anyone who prefers no eggs!
Chia seeds are full of antioxidants, fiber and plant based fats and protein. These versatile little seeds are an excellent add in baked goods, smoothies and more.
Yields
Makes 1 Serving (1 chia egg = 1 egg)
Ingredients / Directions
1 Tbsp Chia seed (or flax meal)
3 Tbsp warm or hot water
Combine and mix with a fork. Let sit for 5 minutes then pour the “chia egg” into your recipe.
