When chia seeds come in contact with water, they expand to at least six times their size and form a gel-like consistency. This can be used to replace the egg content in many baking recipes.
Chia seeds have an abundance of uses in cooking and baking sweet and savoury foods. For a nourishing breakfast option, prep yourself a flavoured chia pudding in advance that can be stored in glass jars in the fridge so you can grab and go on your way out the door.
Chia is also a great addition to recipes for bread, crackers, loaves, bliss balls and other baked delights.
