    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?

    Yes! At my baby shower, the host made this A.Ma.Zing carrot cake with chia eggs. It was sooo soooo sooooooooo good.

    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.
