Vegan-friendly Version — Chia Egg
Swap eggs for chia eggs…
To make 1 chia egg, use a spice grinder to grind 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into a fine meal. Mix the ground chia seed meal with 3 tablespoon of water. Let the mixture meld together for 15 minutes or more, until thick like the consistency of a whisked egg.
Recommended Ingredient: Otto’s Cassava Flour
Cassava flour is made from peeled yuca, a starchy root vegetable. This flour is an excellent grain-free, gluten-free, nut-free baking powder that works well as a direct substitute for wheat flour in recipes. Unlike most gluten-free flours, cassava flour results in exceptional texture and mild taste.
