Recipe Tip
If you're unsure about using the ground flax seed egg substitute in your recipe, start by replacing only half of the eggs. Keep in mind that flax will affect the color and add a nutty flavor, plus provide great nutrition. However, it doesn't alter the texture, rising, or baking times of your dish.
