Flax eggs are a nutritious egg substitute for lots of vegan baking, plus they are easy to make, needing only 2 ingredients.

Combine ground flax seeds and water and place in a small bowl.
Let sit for 5-15 minutes either at room temperature or in the fridge. The mixture will gel up more as more time goes by.
Use the flax egg as you would a regular egg in your recipe.

Make flax eggs first: Make flax eggs before starting the rest of a recipe so they're ready to use when you come to that step.
Let them rest: You should let flax eggs rest for 5-15 minutes, but you let them rest longer. They'll just be more thick.
Flax seeds and rancidity: Flax seeds go rancid quickly so make sure to use a washable grinder like this one.
