Although not used to make a ‘chia egg’ in this recipe, chia seeds are a great thickener and when mixed with water, turn into a gel which can be used in place of an egg in baking. To make a ‘chia egg’, place 1 tbsp. of chia seeds in a small bowl, cover with 3 tbsp. of water, stir and set aside for 5 minutes to gel. This will thicken and set, turning into a nutritional plant-based egg replacement!
