    I have been using unsweetened applesauce as a replacement for oil in baking. I have also used mashed banana. I haven't tried Chia Seeds. Maybe I wil have to go get some.

    I got mine at Wegmans. But any Whole Foods, Trader Joes, or basically any food market with a Natural Foods section. Other markets like Bottom Dollar usually won't carry specific goods like that.

    No problem...also, when in doubt, Amazon or search in Google and you can always mail order....I have had to do that in the past for other foods.

    I'm not sure where in the world you live, but here you can also get them from grocery stores like Fred Meyer and QFC. Bob's Red Mill is a brand that sells a lot of whole food ingredients, and they have Chia Seeds too. What I can't find at Fred Meyer, I can usually find at QFC or Albertsons.

    CHIA PUDDING!!! I recently started eating chia seeds and read a recipe for chia pudding. It is awesome and so easy to make. 3 tbls chia seeds, 1 cup milk (I use almond) and you can add unsweetened cocoa powder for chocolate pudding. Stif together and refrigerate overnight. Stir occasionally to prevent the seeds from settling at the bottom of the jar in a clump. The pudding is so thick and good for you. Sweetener is your choice (honey, fruit, etc). It's awesome..and my snack this afternoon.

    I bought chia seeds at Whole Foods last night after reading this thread.

    They are AMAZING! I love boba and these remind me of drinking boba!
