Minn Veggies: I'm glad you mentioned this. I bake with flax eggs all the time, and I sat down to do the math after reading this article. The least expensive carton of twelve large eggs at my supermarket right now is $5.79 or $0.48 per egg. A pound package of ground flax seed is $4.49 or $0.05 per TBSP. Mixed with 1/8 cup of water, a tablespoon of ground flax seed is the equivalent of one large egg. That's a pretty significant cost savings!For those who would like to try baking with flax eggs, mix two TBSP of ground flax seed with 1/4 cup water and allow set aside until it forms a gel (about ten minutes). Use in place of two large eggs. I've had great success using flax "eggs" when making muffins, which are a breakfast staple in my house.
