So, for those of you who haven't heard, flaxseed can be replaced with eggs!
I wanted to test it out on this carrot muffin recipe....so I made it twice, using the same exact ingredients, with the replacement of eggs with flaxseed mixture.
3 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water= 1egg; let it sit for 5 minutes
I made the first batch with eggs, and when I finished making the second batch with flaxseed, the consistency was not as smooth as the first. Hence, I added 4 tbsp of soy milk.
Conclusion is: both tasted similar, vegan muffins were a little more moist than reg. muffins. It might be due to the extra soy milk.
So I have to post the recipe up because I promised some friends that I'd share it w them...
