  1. Can you use anything in place of the psyillium husks?

  2. Psyillium husks are a pretty unique ingredient. They bind and thicken unlike any ingredient that I'm aware of. Plus they give a 'gluten-like' texture but are gluten free!

    You could possibly try making vegan eggs with ground flax meal, but I don't think it would give the desired texture.
