Instructions
- Add ground flaxseeds to water in a small bowl. Mix together and let sit for at least 5 min (but you can let it sit for up to 30 minutes if you want).

Notes
Top tips for making flax eggs
- Use only ground flax. Whole flaxseeds or flax flour will not have the same affect.
- If you have whole flaxseeds use a coffee grinder to create ground flax.
- Be sure to allow enough time for the ground flax and water mixture to sit (at least 5 minutes). If you don't give it enough time to sit it will not develop the same egg like consistency.
