Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I picked up a box of Betty Crocker Gluten-Free brownie mix as a treat. Would the Ener-G egg replacer work ok or should I try something else? I've heard that baby food can sometimes substitute for eggs. If so, how much and what kind should I use for each egg? I also have some ground flax seeds on hand. Not sure how to use that, either. Has anyone else tried this product and made it dairy and egg free? If so, what did you use, and how did it turn out?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I made them a while back using baby squash and unfortunately they ended up in the trash! I had success making cupcakes with both the yellow & the devil food mixes. I used 1 square container of gerber baby squash for the eggs. Even the gluten eaters loved the cupcakes! The only brownie mix I've had success with is Bob's Red Mill, which has corn in it. If corn isn't an issue for you, BRM is the way to go for brownies! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Cherrybrook kitchens is a good one if you can find it.....I've seen it on line and our local store was carrying it however I was just informed that they will no longer do so--I did ask them to reconsider! The Betty Crocker gluten free mix requires an egg and butter (ugh!) I did try a substitution for them but it didn't turn out as well.........I tried the Namaste brand once or twice, its' pricey, but I recall it being a good one, free of most allergens and easy to make. We don't have the corn or soy issue so I'm sorry I can't tell you if these mixes contain those items. I use Bob's Red Mill mixes quite often---the baking and pancake mix, chocolate chip cookie mix and the chocolate cake mix, when we can find them.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 1 T flax meal + 3 T water? Was it for the BC GF brownie mix or for their cake mixes? ________________________________ ronnimike <HISSPECIALTOUCH Wed, December 30, 2009 10:09:32 AM Re: egg replacement for brownie mix?  I used flax on them and it was ok...also used replacer on another...both worked ok for us.....we tried 2 and didn't like either....toooooooo ooo sweet for our tastes.....like suckin down syrup...ewwwwwwwwww !!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 That's interesting that the subs worked for the cakes but not the brownies. Thanks for the heads up. ________________________________ Jae <recyclednew Tue, December 29, 2009 8:46:57 PM RE: egg replacement for brownie mix?  I made them a while back using baby squash and unfortunately they ended up in the trash!
