Chia Seeds As Egg Replacer



Did you know that you can use chia seeds to replace eggs in a recipe? 
You can make a "chia seed egg" !.

These simple egg substitutes are perfect if are allergic to eggs or if you are vegan. Chia seeds can be a healthy replacement for eggs in most baked products like muffins, cakes, and cookies.
Chia seeds add very little taste to the finished product, but they do the job of the egg and also add a powerhouse of nutrients to the recipe.
    These little seeds become gel like when they are in liquid, making them a perfect base for chia pudding recipes and a perfect egg replacer in baking recipes. 

    Here is the formula per egg. If your recipe calls for 2 eggs, double the recipe.



    According to nutritional charts, chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses. 
    They have: 
    • 7 times the Omega 3 per ounce of an ounce of salmon. 
    • They have more protein than any other seed
    • Provide as much calcium as milk per ounce.
    • Are a complete protein. 
    • In addition, they contain boron for healthy bones and significant amounts of B vitamins. 
    • The nutritional information was certainly a surprise! However, ounce per ounce we probably eat much smaller amounts of chia seeds than the other foods.

    It sounds like they are worth adding to your diet especially if you are gluten free and have greater difficulty absorbing nutrients.  Even if you use eggs, you can still add chia seeds to most baked recipes.

    My Notes: 
    I've tried using chia seed egg replacer in my recipes that call for up to 2 eggs. It may work, but I haven't tried a recipe that calls for like 5 or 6 eggs. It's great to remember if you ever are out of eggs!

    Have you used a chia egg in your recipes?
    What was  your experience? 
    Do you grind the chia seeds first? Please leave a comment..

    Another Falafel Cracker Recipe with Za'atar ( GF)

    I know I made falafel crackers last week , but this is a totally different recipe. It's lighter and crispier than the previous recipe, so you might want to give these a try.  I had never made crackers before last week, but they are really fast, easy, and fun to make. A batch of these 50 crackers from start to finish took me under 30 minutes ( I didn't count the 15 minutes of chill time). In addition, they are gluten free, dairy free, egg free and delicious. We love falafel and it's interesting spices,  so naturally I knew we would love these tasty falafel flavored crisps. What makes them taste like falafel? The chick pea flour, the sesame seeds, the cumin, the turmeric, the coriander and the spice blend called za'atar. What is za'atar or zahtar? Za'atar is a prepared spice blend that is used in many Middle Eastern countries.Although the recipes might vary, Za'atar may be made of any of the following spices: ground thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, hyssop an...

    Falafel Crackers Anyone?

    This is an interesting gluten free snack idea and entertaining idea !  Can you imagine crackers that taste like falafel! For those of you who have tasted falafel before, you know you are in for a treat. For those who have never had falafel, you will have to trust me on this one. I assure you that the recipe is truly flavorful and is reminiscent of falafel. I found this recipe on a blog called May I Have That Recipe - a delightful blog created by two sisters who post vegetarian, vegan, and kosher recipes. This recipe happens to be gluten free as well - as many of their recipes are; many of their other recipes can be easily adapted to be gluten free. The Flour There are different types of gluten free flours that you can use to make gluten free snacks. This recipe calls for G arbanzo bean flour  ( chick pea flour) which can be found online or in most health food stores or health food isles in the supermarkets. I like this Garbanzo bean flour :  Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean F...
