Stay Tuned!

I am super excited to try out this one vegan recipe I found and cannot wait to share it with you all if it turns out edible, haha! I found a new way to substitute eggs if the recipe calls for 1 or 2 and it is just used as a binder instead of being the star of the recipe! All you do is use flax or chia 'eggs' and do a 1:1 substitution. Chia is tasteless compared to flax seeds, but is quite expensive. Flax seeds are fine in these kinds of recipes because the taste will be masked. Finely grind either seeds to make meal, be sure to put it in an airtight container, and refrigerate or freeze so it will last longer. To substitute an egg, you would need to combine 1 tablespoon of flax/chia meal and 3 tablespoons of water. Voila! You have your binder! This upcoming recipe is surprisingly pretty healthy! I have never been a fan of whole wheat flour in any shape or form, so I stuck with unbleached all-purpose. I guess it is an acquired taste because I have tried making healthier cookies by using all whole wheat in one batch and half regular and half whole wheat in another and they both did not appeal to me at all. Finding this recipe has inspired me to try and transform my beloved recipes that are not so healthy into healthier alternatives. We will see if the results are worth sharing! In the meantime, check out my other recipes! Happy cooking, baking, and eating!
