Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine water and flax meal, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

- Take about 1 tablespoon worth of mixture and form it into a nugget with your hands.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
- Or, pan fry with a small drizzle of oil over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool 5 minutes.
- Enjoy!
