I don’t have ground flax seed, is there something else I can use?
Alison says
The flax seed, combined with water, creates a “flax egg” that makes the cornbread fluffy (and allows the recipe to be egg-free). Good substitutes would be chia seeds, hemp seeds, or wheat germ. Hope that helps!

There is an egg replacement I get on Amazon, but flax works well for cornbread.
