Re:midwinter gingerbread will substitutes work?

[Guest guest]

Yummmm, does any one know if this will work well with an egg

substitute, like EnerG? and will Earth Balance work in place of the

butter? I have to say~~ I *miss* gingerbread, and it is things like

this that make me say I am " on-again-off-again " with my diet.

I can't swear for this particular recipe, but I will just say that I

bake all the time, and have never had any problems substituting Earth

Balance, EnerG, soymilk (instead of milk) in any baked goods recipes.

Thanks!! I am really glad to see this..........I have been afraid to try,

due to the fact that the package of EnerG states that it works well in

*most* recipes. And one person on another list stated that they had

problems several times with a batch of brownies........have you

made brownies?

I *used* to bake a lot........it will be fun to get back into it!

As an avid baker, I am quite certain it would work in this recipe.

The rise of the bread/cake is more due to the baking soda in the

ingredient list than from the egg, I think. Also the butter or

margarine isn't such a big issue since many people who can't

have much of them for cholesterol monitoring will sub those

out with applesauce with wonderful results.

 

I say go for it! Let us know how it works out for you.
