What Are Flax Eggs?

When it comes to baking, eggs play an important role in providing structure and stability. However, for those who are allergic to eggs or follow a vegan diet, finding an egg replacement can be a challenge. Flaxseed meal is a popular egg substitute that is often used in vegan baking.

Made from ground flaxseeds, the flaxseed meal is high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. When combined with water, it forms a gel-like substance that helps to bind ingredients together. In addition, flaxseed meal gives baked goods a moist and tender texture. As a result, it is an excellent egg replacement in recipes for cakes, muffins, and quick breads.

Flax eggs may be substituted in this recipe.

How to make flax eggs:

Mix together 2 tablespoons of ground flax meal and 6 tablespoons of water.

One of my daughter’s favorite pumpkin recipes is this Banana Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Swirl. It should also be noted that I bake egg free because my youngest daughter has eleven food allergies, which include eggs. However, I always note in my recipes the number of eggs to use so that you can use eggs if you would like.

Banana Pumpkin Bread Ingredients:

• flour
• baking soda
• salt
• cinnamon
• brown sugar
• butter, room temp.
• ground flax seeds + 6 tablespoons water, mix and set aside {do this step first} or eggs
• bananas, mashed
• pumpkin puree
• plain greek yogurt
• vanilla extract

• Cinnamon Swirl
• sugar
• cinnamon

• Glaze
• powdered sugar
• milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease your loaf pan.
2. Mix together your flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. In a large bowl cream your butter and brown sugar together until creamy. Add the flax “eggs”, mix until blended.
4. Stir in the mashed banana, yogurt, pumpkin, and vanilla.
5. Start adding your dry ingredients into your wet, small amounts at a time. The mix will be thick and sticky.
6. Spoon half of your batter into your loaf pan and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Spoon the rest of your batter on top and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Pumpkin recipes are so popular in the fall because they combine two of people’s favorite flavors: pumpkin and cinnamon. These spices remind us of autumn when the leaves start changing color and the air becomes cooler. When we eat foods with these spices, it reminds us of happy memories from past autumns, making us feel warm and cozy inside.
