Flax Seed "Eggs"

I posted my favorite Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies a little while ago and they are still my favorite cookies (just ask my pants).

I was making them the other night and realized I was out of eggs.

Oh dear!  What was I to do?

Try them vegan style of course!

(apologies for the weird pic.  it was late.)

I pulled out my sprouted flax and gave it a go.

Guess what?  The cookies turned out better than I expected.

I couldn't tell a difference.

So how do you turn flax into eggs?

I'll tell you...

In a bowl whisk together:

1 tablespoon ground flax

3 tablespoons water

(This will equal 1 egg.)

Let it sit for about 10 or 15 minutes,
until it has an egg-like consistency.

I stirred mine a few times while I was waiting.

I was verrrrry curious.

Why did I use sprouted flax?

It was 10:00 at night.

I was too lazy to pull out my flax seed and coffee grinder, although it probably would have taken about 16 extra seconds to do it that way.  :)

Give it a try.

I promise, you won't be able to tell a difference!
