Hi Cecilie, ground flax would work just fine.

Hi,
I love your blog, the look of it, the recipes… and this is no exception. It looks amazing! But the thing is, I don’t have any chia seeds, and they’re quite expensive. Is there any way I can use ground flax seeds instead?

Hi Vanessa!

I think you could sub either flour, but you may have to introduce a better binder like xanthan gum or perhaps extra ground chia + water mixture. I can see it crumbling without the gluten as a structural component. Let me know how it works out!

This looks amazing! Could this work with brown rice flour or gf all-purpose flour? (I have to use these two up somehow!)
