Product Information

My pancake batter was definitely elastic, rather than easily pourable. When I was making the pancakes, I needed to coax them into rounds on the pan, as they wouldn't spread much by themselves. Wheat flour adds structure and strength to baked goods via its protein-based gluten. Replace wheat flour with gluten-free flour, and you need to replace the "structure builder" – and the replacement is usually protein-rich eggs. For a while I wondered if this was going to work out, my ‘eggs’ were whisking up nicely but I wasn’t quite sure if they’d be fluffy enough. And at the point I’d taken them out of the oven, I wasn’t sure if it was a success. You can also use various common foods as egg replacers. A good substitute will be able to bind baked goods together, as well as produce light and fluffy cakes and muffins. Don’t despair if you can’t eat eggs- you can still make delicious egg free desserts. On the left, flax gel rolls – again, notice their subtly darker color. But their taste is identical to rolls made with real egg.

Use this guideline as a rule of thumb when creating a flax egg: 1 egg = 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons of water. Chia Eggs Caution – bakes can be a little dry, and too much raising agent will give a metallic taste. Always sift in bicarbonate of soda so small lumps are evenly distributed. Our eggless lemon drizzle cake gets around any dryness with its post-bake drizzle. Other solutions are to add more milk or yoghurt to the recipe, frost generously, or heap on plenty of whipped cream and fresh fruit. These days, with all kinds of allergies seemingly on the rise, we hear this question from our readers and customers on a regular basis.

But for anything that needs to rise more than an inch or so, I'd guess real eggs, providing the needed structure gluten-free flour can't, are a necessity. For each large egg, stir or shake together 1 tablespoon (1/4 ounce) flax meal and 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) cold water. For multiple eggs, simply scale up: I'm making 4 eggs' worth here, which translates to 1/4 cup (1 ounce) flax meal and 3/4 cups (6 ounces) water. I also use silken tofu to replace eggs in vegan spinach balls, silken tofu scramble, and creamy tofu pasta sauce. Vegan Quiche Minimum life based on 'use-by' date of product.

I've been cooking and baking without eggs for over 23 years now and through much trial and error, I have found which egg replacements work best and which ones don't work in each type of recipe. This is our favourite swap for fluffy cakes. Eggs give bakes structure and lift, and a little extra raising agent plus an activating acid can handle this too. The swap is unnoticeable in small bakes, such as our vegan muffins and vegan chocolate cupcakes . Likewise, it works like a dream in eggless fluffy pancake mix (okay, not strictly a bake!). You can stretch this solution to a big birthday-style cake, such as our eggless chocolate cake and the luscious vegan chocolate peanut butter cake pictured below. Finally, what about using homemade egg replacer in gluten-free baked goods? Many folks eating gluten-free are also avoiding eggs. I wish I could tell you to substitute homemade egg replacer in any and all of your gluten-free recipes calling for eggs. But this is where things become problematic: eggs usually play a major structure-building role in gluten-free baking. As this was a first attempt, I went with option two. Egg replacers have clear instructions for how to mix them to create a whole egg, egg white etc so it felt like a safer option. Plus, I’d do just about anything to avoid cooking with aquafaba at the best of times.

Yogurt– Yogurt binds batter together and adds nice moisture to cakes, cupcakes, or muffins. I use non-dairy yogurt (we prefer SO Delicious Cultured Coconut Milk Yogurt), and you need three tablespoons for each egg in the recipe. I use yogurt in my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe. Simple, because a perfectly good egg replacer is easily made from just two ingredients: flax meal, and water. But what if you can’t eat eggs? Or what if you have just run out of them? What’s the best way to replace them in your recipe? Here's my favorite roll recipe, Amish Dinner Rolls. These dense, tender potato rolls stay nice and soft for several days at room temperature. The recipe calls for 2 eggs – a fairly average amount, if you're talking yeast bread that includes eggs. For recipes that are dense, moist or savoury, silken tofu can work wonders as a vegan egg substitute. Try it in vegan cheesecakes, puddings and mousses.

Baking Powder–A large amount of baking powder (about 1 ½ Tablespoons) is a great way to make batter rise. The only time I use this substitute is when I make pancakes or vegan waffles. Thesodium bicarbonate and the cream of tartar in thebaking powderreact when combined with liquid and rise instantly. Melt the butter in the milk in a pan over medium heat. When it starts to boil, remove it from the heat. Add all the flour and stir fast with a wooden spoon until the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth.

And speaking of mixes, I suspect homemade egg replacer would work well in many store-bought mixes, which are formulated to be pretty "goof proof." Mix manufacturers know that lay bakers will substitute all manner of different ingredients for something they may not have, so the mixes themselves come with all kinds of built-in safeguards against failure. I hope that this gave you lots of ideas for swapping out eggs and helped you modify your favorite recipes into egg-free recipes!
