Tip of the Day - Flax Seed

Add a boost of omega-3 oils and fiber to your baking mixes by stirring in a couple of tablespoons of milled flax seed.  It does not change the consistency of your baked goods.

Also, you can use milled flax seed as a substitute for egg or fat in most baking recipes.  3 tablespoons of milled flax seed can be substituted for 1 tablespoon of fat.  1 tablespoon of milled flax seed along with 3 tablespoons of water, can be substituted for 1 egg.
