    Using chia seeds as egg substitute!

    How cool!! Soaked chia seeds turn into a gel that can be used to substitute egg/oil/butter in cakes etc...
    Anyone used then for this before?
    I used it tonight in a thermomix dessert

    Oooo I saw that on a blog recently too.

    Soaking lots of things is awesome.

    How did it taste?

    There is also a product called "No Egg" which you can get in supermarkets and health food shops as an egg replacement. No-one can even tell that I don't cook with eggs.
