<–This might be how I feel.

What’s more, it’s all in the safe realm of no gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, or other treacherously mind-blowingly stomach-aching ingredients for the Bubble Child-est of us. Yahoo!
Flax seed goo has been my remedy for replacing eggs, butter, dairy, and all other forms of binding fats in baking. The flax seeds take a minimum of 4 hours at room temperature or a maximum of one day to chill out in the fridge (oh, puns)/soak before throwing in the blender to create your magic. And it is magic, indeed. This bread is pretty delectable.
