Vegan Orange Almond Bickies
Does 'vegan' catch your eye? Egg free baking is a thing of cleverness that is not that achievable unless you have the right recipe. This is that recipe! We did a live video on Facebook to help my peeps work out the best vegan egg replacers. This has a linseed (flaxseed) egg in it. There are plenty of options to help mimic eggs in other ways, (see this article) but for baking a linseed or chia egg is a winner on most occasions.
Give these a go, you won't notice there isn't an egg or two. These biscuits are almost pure protein as well, so yes, you're welcome!
