Chia eggs is a mix for chia seeds + water. An easy substitute instead of traditional eggs. Chia soaks a lot of water which makes them sticky and coherent. Perfect effect just like eggs.
I typically use a chia egg for sweet recipes in bakery, pancakes, waffles or other vegan sweets and desserts.

Difference of chia eggs and flax eggs?
Just like chia, you can also use → flax seeds to make vegan eggs. Flax seeds combine like magic. And great for all vegan recipes.
How I use the 2 types of eggs:
- Chia egg = Desserts, sweets, cakes, pancakes and waffles ..
- Flax egg = Recipes for anything else that sweets. Mains, burger patties, meat balls, fritters etc.
There is no rules when you use chia or flax seeds. But normally I will divide them like this. Mostly, because I don not think it’s a good idea for any recipes to add chia seeds in my danish ‘frikadeller’ or patties. Or to add flax seeds in sweets.
