Reena’s Tip of the Week:

Are you allergic to eggs or on a vegan diet?

No problem! Here’s a substitution solution to the all important baking ingredient: eggs

For the magic recipe, read on!

What you need:

1/4 cup flax seed + 3/4 cup water

Buzz in blender for 5 minutes, then store in fridge.

1/4 cup of mixture = 1 egg

This substitution works for cookies, cakes and muffins. The baked goods might have a slightly gummier texture, but are very good!

Our thanks goes out to Jeanette who sent us this wonderful recipe. With one daughter who bakes for a vegan, and another who bakes for children with egg allergies, we know this recipe is definitely tried and tested.

All solutions are to be used at the risk of the user.
