Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place chia seeds in a small bowl.
  • Add water and stir well to combine.
  • Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, until thick and gelled.
  • Use as a 1:1 substitute for one egg in baking recipes.

Notes

  • This replaces 1 large egg in most baking recipes.
  • You can make a chia egg ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a few days.
  • For best results, prepare it at the start of your recipe so it’s ready when needed.
  • Ground chia seeds create a smoother texture, but whole seeds work as well.
