4. Flax Meal Instead of Eggs

Flax seeds are rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. By combining flaxseed meal and water, one can add these outstanding nutrients to your baked recipes. 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal and 3 tablespoons of water mixed together will substitute evenly for one egg. Let us know how you like the nutty flavor of this baking secret!


3. Honey / Agave Nectar For Sugar

The biggest difference between honey and agave nectar in cooking instead of sugar is that both honey and agave have vitamins in them. They are not necessarily “healthy” for you, but as substitutes, they are healthier than sugar. Local honey can be used to treat allergies and agave nectar can be good for people with diabetes because of its low glycemic index! If you need to sweeten up a recipe, look no further than these two ingredients to make your treats scrumptious.
