HOW TO COOK WITH FLAXSEED MEAL

Flaxseed meal is probably best known as an egg substitute, but it can be used for so much more! Here’s just a sample of the ways it can enhance your favorite recipes:

• Smoother salad dressings: Flaxseed meal can be used to emulsify salad dressing
• Crispier air-fried vegetables: A mixture of flaxseed meal and water can become a crispy coating for roasted and air-fried vegetables.
• Crunchier granolas: Add a tablespoon or two of flaxseed meal to a granola recipe for added crunch.
• Creamier cereals: Stir a tablespoon or two of flaxseed meal into hot breakfast cereal or overnight oats for extra richness.
• Nuttier toppings: Toast whole flaxseeds in a dry skillet; let cool and then grind coarsely for a tasty addition to salads and Buddha bowls
• Softer baked goods: A tablespoon or two of flaxseed meal stirred into bread doughs and batters keeps them extra moist and tender.
• Tastier popcorn: Sprinkle air-popped popcorn with flaxseed meal as an alternative to melted butter.

HOW TO MAKE A FLAX EGG (EGG SUBSTITUTE)

Flax eggs are one of the easiest ways to make baking recipes vegan. For each flax egg, stir 3 Tbsp. water into 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds, and let stand for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. You can use the same technique with chia seeds, another favorite of vegan bakers.

HOW TO USE FLAXSEED MEAL IN GLUTEN-FREE BAKING

Flaxseed meal can be used two ways in gluten-free baking: as a whole grain addition to gluten-free flour blends (about ⅕ of the total flour used) or a high-fiber 1:1 alternative to xanthan gum (a gluten-free way to give dough stickiness and structure).
