This recipe requires one tablespoon of chia seeds, either ground of whole.* So first, prepare the chia seeds if wanted.
Once ready, combine 1 tablespoon of the chia seeds with ¼ cup water and mix thoroughly.
Leave aside for around five minutes for the chia egg to thicken and become gelatinous**

Notes
*If you want to ground the chia seeds, you can do this by placing the seeds in a coffee grinder or spice grinder and they should be ready within a few seconds. You can also use a blender/food processor to grind the seeds. However, this requires you to make a larger batch (usually around 1 cup). ** 5 minutes is the minimum that I would leave this mixture. To get thicker quicker, you can chill it for 5-10 minutes instead of leaving it at room temperature. Note: I suggest only using chia eggs in recipes that require 1-2 eggs. Any more and you'll likely need to make further recipe adjustments.
