Watch this video on how to make an Easy Flax Egg Recipe (Vegan Egg Substitute)!
While you could always purchase a vegan egg substitute at the store or this vegan egg substitute mix off of Amazon, I love that this Easy Flax Egg Recipe uses flaxseed. It’s loaded with fiber, protein, omega-3’s, and so many good things!
Although Flax Egg recipes are nothing new to the food world, I just had to post one on here for all of my vegan friends (and non-vegan, for that matter). It’s too amazing to not talk about!
What is the egg to flax egg ratio?
1 Tbsp of finely ground flaxseed mixed with 3 Tbsp of water should be the equivalent of 1 egg! Simply mix it together for about 3-4 minutes and then refrigerate for 15 minutes (or until gelatinous).
What recipes can I use a flax egg in?
Loving this Flax Egg Recipe in:
- The BEST Vegan Zucchini Bread
- Gluten Free Blueberry Bread
- Gluten-Free Healthy Rhubarb Muffins
- Healthy Carrot Cake Mini Doughnuts
And really any recipe that goes in the oven and uses an egg to hold it together!

My bestfriend cannot have eggs and I always find myself baking shortbread type recipes that have no egg in them. Since I bake so much and I’m home visiting for the summer, this will be perfect the next time I make cake and cinnamon rolls. She is going to love this so much. Pinning for later!
