Chia Seeds Kitchen Tips

[Recipe] Chia Seeds Gel As Egg Substitute in Baking

Chia Seeds Gel as Egg Substitute | www.fussfreecooking.com

I have a slight obsession with banana loaf. If you ask my beloved, maybe “slight” is an understatement ha! I have several banana loaf recipes on my blog and I have just featured a vegan and dairy friendly version two weeks ago.

When it comes to baking, one of the frequently asked questions I received was what I would do to substitute egg.

Instead of commercial egg replacement such as xanthan gum, I thought I would go for something that I am more familiar with such as chia seeds which I have learned from a friend that you can use chia seeds gel as a binding agent in a baking recipe.

To replace an egg, I used 1 tablespoon of chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water and let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes or you can prepare it the night before.

    Great post! I’ve done this with ground up flax seeds too.

    Oh good, no grinding of the Chia Seeds. I just made a quart of Chia Gel, good to know I can use it as an Egg Substitute! Thanks!

    Brilliant! Thank you. I have no way to grind seeds, and didn’t want to buy yet another strange product for baking.

    […] why considering these vegan whole wheat waffles take 15 minutes total (if you’ve made your chia eggs in advance, otherwise 30min). That is why, when I do make them, I jam-pack my waffles with only the […]
