1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water.
Stir and allow the mixture to stand for 10 to 20 minutes.
Use the resulting gel in place of one egg in suitable muffins, pancakes, cookies, or quick breads.
Ground chia creates a smoother mixture, while whole seeds leave a more noticeable texture.
Ground Chia Seed Powder
Chia seeds can be ground in a clean spice grinder or coffee grinder. The powder can be added to oatmeal, smoothies, bread, pancakes, or other baked foods.
Ground chia alone does not behave like wheat flour and cannot usually replace all the flour in a recipe. It lacks gluten and absorbs a large amount of liquid, so recipes may require adjustments.
Store ground chia in an airtight container in a cool location or refrigerator and use it promptly to protect its fats from oxidation.

How Much Chia Should You Eat?
There is no official requirement to consume chia seeds. A common serving is one to two tablespoons per day, but individual tolerance varies.
People who currently consume little fiber may prefer to begin with one teaspoon or one tablespoon. Increase the amount gradually while drinking sufficient fluids.
Eating more than two tablespoons is not automatically harmful for a healthy person, but it adds more fiber, fat, and calories. Large portions may cause digestive discomfort.
