CHÍA EGGS

Chia eggs, chia egg, vegan egg or also known as soaked or activated chia seeds is a preparation that can be used in confectionery as a binder, emulsifier, thickener or stabilizer.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ¼ cup water

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine the chia seeds with water and mix thoroughly.*
2. Let rest for about five minutes so that the chia seeds thicken and become gelatinous.**

Notes

*If you want to grind the chia seeds, you can do this in a blender. However, this requires you to make at least 1 cup.

**5 minutes is the minimum that I would leave this mixture. To get thicker quicker, you can chill it for 5-10 minutes.
