DIY Flax seed meal
I’m loving all the vegan baking I’ve been seeing. It does mean that flax seed meal is in high demand. Flax eggs for the win y’all. If you’re able to get your hands on some whole flax seeds it’s super easy to make your own meal at home! You can repurpose your coffee grinder or high powered blender temporarily to make DIY flax seed meal from scratch. (Make sure you wash out well to avoid a coffee taste :D ) Before the ‘rona, I’d buy a massive bag of flax seeds in bulk and make inexpensive, #packagefree flaxseed meal at home. Now, I’m sourcing bulk flax seeds and grinding ‘em up as needed. So simple!
You can whip this up in literally 2 minutes and make a great egg replacer if you’re running low. This is one of my fav baking hacks and comes in handy on a regular basis. I can’t be the only baking almost everyday, right?
1. Add 1/2 cup ish to grinder or blender and run for 1 - 2 minutes until a fine meal has formed. Store in the fridge in an airtight container. Lasts about 1 month. That’s it, you’re done.
Make as often as you need! Flax seed meal is a magical binder and I highly encourage y’all to test out making your own. Bob’s Red Mill seems to have whole seeds still in stock. Anywhere else y’all have found?
