We need conversions for these ingredients from grams to teaspoons or cups.
Hi Brenda,
For this recipe, the author felt it was best to do it in weight, but I went ahead and looked up the conversions and here’s what I found:
60 g flaxseeds = 6 tbsp
20 g chia seeds = 2 tbsp
15 g psyllium seed husk = 3 tbsp.
Hope this helps!
I am confused about the psyllium. Do I start with whole psyllium and then grind it with the other seeds, or do I start with psyllium husk powder but nevertheless grind it with the other seeds?
Hi Laura,
You should grind the psyllium husks first and then grind all three together.
Love the Pixie Dust!!! How much do I use to replace one egg in a recipe? Thank you ?
Hi Susanne,
This isn’t my recipe but from my understanding of the author, Jeanne’s post about Pixie Dust on her own website, this is meant as a replacement for xanthan gum and other gums in gluten-free baked goods.
