Did You Know? Ground chia seeds (chia meal) can be mixed with water and used as an egg replacement in baking! This recipe makes the equivalent of 1 egg. 3 Tablespoons water 1 Tablespoon white chia seed meal 1) Grind the chia seeds into a meal in a blender or spice grinder. You may want to grind a larger amount and store it for future use. Like flax oil, chia seeds are extremely perishable so if you grind a larger amount for later use, store it in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to one year. 1 cup of chia seeds equals about 1 1/3 cup of flax meal. 2) Add the water to a small bowl or cup. Add the chia seed meal and mix together with a whisk or fork. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes so it develops a goopy texture similar to a raw egg. Warm water will speed up the process.
