Thanks, Kim. Great suggestion. . .

>>>Not sure if everyone is aware or not but we have a whole folder of

egg subs in 'Files'. There's around 25 files in there, several with

multiple suggestions. There's bound to be something for everyone.

I personally find using 2 or three different kinds of subs in most

recipes works best.

Hi all,

I have started my Daniel fast, and it is easy, and

hard at the same time.

The hard is I have been quite tired, but then I am

cutting coffee at the same time as the dairy and eggs

and sugar, so I may just be having minor withdraws to

my usual energy sources.

Can't do soy (thyroid issue) so I am playing.

 

Anyway, I have read in the past about using banana for

an egg sub. in baking, has anybody else read that?

Also, I have heard about a product you can get that is

a vegan egg sub. has anybody tried it?

 

What great timing as I read this topic going thru the

list right now.

A repost of my e-mail on another thread:

 

Eggs can have many different functions in baking, so there is no

" perfect " substitute, you may have to experiment a bit to figure out

what to substitute. Here are some substitutes, sorted by the egg's

function (trying to delete any non-vegan subs, please forgive me if I

overlook one):

 

Often times, you can skip the eggs in a recipe if it only calls for

one or two. All you need to do is add a couple extra tablespoons of

liquid to balance the moisture content of the product.

 

As Binders

 

1/2 large mashed banana

1/4 cup apple sauce or pureed prunes

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water

1 1/2 tablespoons water, 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, and 1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon apricot puree

1/4 cup of soft tofu

1/4 cup soy milk

1 tablespoon of raw/ wet okara + 2 tablespoons of water

 

Leavening

 

2 tablespoons carbonated water and 2 teaspoons baking flour

1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 tablespoon vinegar

(add vinegar separately at the end for rising)

Dissolve 1 teaspoon yeast in 1/4 cup warm water

1 heaping tablespoon of soy flour and one tablespoon water

1 tablespoon bean flour and 1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder mixed with 3 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons gluten flour or unbleached white flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons

corn oil, 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 tablespoons water

 

For Whipping

 

1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum with about 1/4 cup of water. Let stand. It

thickens, and can be whipped like an egg white.

 

Emulsifiers (mix oil and water - sorry I don't have amounts for these yet)

 

soy/sunflower lecithin

pectin

 

One trouble that I am having right now is baking gluten-free without

eggs. In a lot of these recipes, the egg provides the structure and

protein stretch/chew, as well as any of the above functions, so I have

been cooking with a *lot* more eggs than I ever have before. I need

to find a really good gluten-free, egg-free bread recipe (that my

picky boys like).
