Walnuts, dried figs, and toasty spices are used to make this fig cake recipe.
| Prep Time: | 5 mins |
| Total Time: | 5 mins |
| Servings: | 1 |
| Yield: | 1 flax egg |
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons very warm water
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
Instructions
- Whisk water and ground flax seeds together in a bowl until combined, about 30 seconds. Let sit until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Whisk again, about 30 seconds. Let sit until thickened, about 2 minutes more.
- If you are nervous about the effect, start by replacing only half of the egg called for in a recipe. The flax seed will affect the color and add a nutty taste (plus great nutrition!) but has no effect on texture, rising or baking times.
Reviews
this works very well, good for baking when u realize at the last minute that you don’t have enough eggs…
This is a great substitute for people who don’t eat eggs but also for anyone who has found themselves without eggs and in need of a pancake, muffin, or cookie. This also adds some necessary nutrition to your meal. Try adding this to your soup or stew to thicken it! Thank you for the recipe.
