Ground Flaxseed
Ground flaxseed is the other go-to seed for vegan egg replacements. Both form a gel when stirred with water, but flaxseed is lighter (113 g per cup vs 170 g for chia) and gives a slightly nuttier flavour. You can swap them 1:1 by tablespoon, though chia produces a thicker, more neutral-tasting gel. See what 1 cup of ground flaxseed is in ounces.
