Chia makes a binding mixture when combined with water, but is stronger than flax -- so you should use less. While a flax "egg" uses 1 tablespoon of ground flax mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, a chia "egg" requires just 1 teaspoon of ground chia mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let the chia to sit in the liquid for about 20 minutes to gel up to the right consistency. Use as you would the flax meal. Happy baking! Laurie@KAF
