Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the water and flax meal and stir to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.

- Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a nugget with your hands. Repeat with remaining mixture.
- Coat the nuggets on both sides with the remaining ¾ cup (85 g) of bread crumbs.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
