I know there are plenty of people out there who are limiting their intake of eggs for many reasons; allergies, cholesterol, vegan diet, just to name a few. I found an awesome egg substitute for baking that adds protein and works better as an egg substitute than using plain egg whites. I found this recipe on www.sparkpeople.com, a site that has a plethora of information on healthy eating, and wanted to share it with you! Here it is...
Flax Seed Egg Replacer (For Baking Only)
Ingredients:
3 tbsp. ground flax seed
6 tbsp. water
Directions:
Mix flax seed and water. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir again.
This recipe equals 2 eggs and can be easily adjusted for any recipe.
Happy Baking and let me know how you like the flax seed replacer! I find it works AWESOME in quick breads, such as pumpkin or zucchini, and you'll never miss the egg!
