I like using the lighter golden flax that comes pre-ground. We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Al! Do you just double the ingredients for a recipe requiring 2 eggs? Probably not what you intended, but we’ve been experimenting with ground turkey, and found it much too wet, and using an chicken egg to bind it, just makes it wetter. So I was making a half recipe of meatballs and recipe called for one egg. Since there is no such thing as half an egg unless you buy egg whites in a carton and I have a bag of ground flax we are also experimenting with I made half a flax egg.

Thanks so much for sharing, Diana! I used it to replace egg in some homemade dog training treats I was making with silicone moulds as I wanted to include some flax into my dog’s diet. Sadly, it did not go overly well. However, I could not for the life of me get them to firm up! 30-40 minutes the ones on the edges were burning on top but the mix inside the mould was still soft.
