Please note that I have not tried all of these recipes (yet), but they were given good reviews on the sources where they were found. The ones I've tried will have my review at the very bottom of the post. I'd appreciate it if you would please leave a comment if you try any of them. I would also love to get any recipes you may have or suggestions you have that this blog should include.

Flaxseed - substitution

According to the Mayo Clinic you can substitute ground flax seed for one large egg in a recipe, use 1 tablespoon ground flax seed plus 3 tablespoons water. It will somewhat alter the texture of the finished product, making it slightly “gummy.” Apparently it works well in breads, cookies, casseroles, etc. If the recipe calls for all purpose flour, it will probably work. Golden flax has the same nutrients as brown flax but blends in better with some recipes. The nutritional value is greatly decreased the longer they are ground and just sitting. Source

Since finding this information out, I've substituted flax seed for eggs in cake, brownies, cookies, bread and they've been wonderful every time.
