Hi Brenda. Although not slimy, the recipe is a little more sticky through the flax meal. I don’t know very well what egg substitute you employed or what ingredients are in it, so I can’t seriously say. I'd guess the missing egg and egg substitute contributed into the “slimy” texture. https://900-calorie-diet44322.digitollblog.com/11621706/the-basic-principles-of-pumpkin-porridge
