Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a gel.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 2/3 cup powdered sugar with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and the flax gel until fully incorporated.
