tablespoon of flax meal with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water; refrigerate for 15 minutes to thicken.
You combine 1 tablespoon
of flax meal with 3 tablespoons of water per egg called for in the recipe.
What can I use in
place of flax meal since I understand that flax doesn't do well under high temperatures.....?
My guess would be 1/3 -1 / 2 cup
of flax meal + skip the egg and add some water (maybe 1/4 cup).
I am trying this recipe with non dairy milk and egg replacement
of flax meal because my kiddos allergies.
I made them vegan by replacing the eggs with 125 ml of vanilla soy yogurt, a couple tablespoons
of flax meal mixed with some warm water and 1/2 tsp of xanthum gum.
My modifications were: organic turkey + bison meat instead of beef, 3 large eggs instead of 2 xl, a heaping
tbsp of flax meal, kale instead of spinach, added 1/6 cup avocado oil (because my meats were really lean), added 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, and added one finely chopped portabello mushroom.
Make the flax egg and set that aside (2
tbl of flax meal mixed with 6 tbl of water — let sit for 3 minutes to thicken).
I see that this was a year ago, but in have the same issue and I substitute
1tbls of flax meal mixed with 3 tbls warm water to replace one egg.
I also recently tried freezing a few sliced bananas, then adding them to the blender with a tbs of nutella, peanut butter, or apple butter, and a
tbs of flax meal.
The
tendency of flax meal and chia seeds to form a gel when mixed with water also make them ideal egg replacers.
I usually add a scoop of chia seed and a
scoop of flax meal which can make them a little heavy.
I may try this recipe again with a real egg, since I'm not actually vegan and found the odd
husk of flax meal annoying to eat (we put the brownie dust on top of ice cream!).
I didn't have the bean flour, so I subbed 2
oz of flax meal and an extra 2 oz of the sorghum flour.
I always make it with half a frozen banana, a splash of coconut or almond milk, a pinch of dulse flakes, a tablespoon or
so of flax meal, a teaspoon each of maca and bee pollen, a cup of spinach, and a serving of raw protein powder (we've been switching back and forth between Garden of Life «s RAW Protein and Living Harvest «s Tempt hemp protein).
I was just hoping to find out your thoughts on (or if you knew of any evidence to support) the
stability of flax meal in baking, considering it should be kept in the fridge?

For those of you looking for a substitute for the nut meal... I just made these, substituting a
combo of flax meal and chia meal (one or the other would work fine, I just happened to have both on hand) an they turned out great!
Substitute up to the total
amount of the flax meal with the same amount of rice protein for an extra punch of protein.
No, I don't use flours, not even gluten free flours, substituting
combinations of flax meal, chia, unflavored whey protein powder, coarse almond meal, psyllium etc..
But the
addition of flax meal or this omega seed blend from Navitas (my favorite — I also add it to my smoothies), really creates a nice tenderness.
Tip: In place of the egg replacer, you can use 2
tablespoons of flax meal mixed with 2 tablespoons water or a well - mashed banana.
I add a
bit of flax meal and garbanzo flour to avoid crumbling, but I find putting these cookies in the refrigerator after cooling helps them stay together for easy decorating.
Take 2/3
cups of flax meal, 1/3 cup of almond meal, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder with salt and pepper to taste.
Instead
of flax meal, substitute a whole grain flour such as spelt, kamut, buckwheat (GF) or even almond meal.
