I’m wondering if chia seeds would work the same way?

This is awesome!! I’m not vegan, but I like having eggs for other things…like eating them, and it’s a sneaky way to add more nutrition to the bar. I’m going to keep some ground flax all the time in my pantry now

THANK YOU for sharing what 1/8 cup is. I’ve seen it a lot lately, and I’m like huh? 2 tbsp seems more easy to understand.

Excellent! I’m going away for a week and wanted to use up all the eggs and make a healthy snack for the car (whole wheat chocolate banana muffins), but I hardboiled the eggs and forgot to save two for the muffins. Thanks!

I was reading the website flmom recommended above and this is what it says: Flax seed meal is easily added to cookie mixes, bread doughs, and almost any baked good mixture. Flax seed meal is stable at temperatures used to bake batters and doughs, such as muffins or breads, according to several studies. HTH.

Now you’ve got me curious. Does anyone have an explanation for why the seeds may be heated safely but not the oil. I’m thinking the oil is inside the seeds when I heat the seeds. Is it the other material in the seeds which keeps the oil “safe” as long as they’re together? I’m no chemist, but I would certainly appreciate any practical hardcore knowledge a healthy-minded food-chemist could offer. Thanks.
If the flax oil should not be heated, and if the oil comes from the seeds, why is it safe to heat the seeds, but not safe to heat the oil?

I added the link to the raspberry bread recipe above! It is scrumptious as muffins or bread!

Love the idea, since I have about 5lbs of flax seed in the freezer. However, I want the bread recipe!!
