Egg Substitutes

(source: Christa's Vegan Cookery Site)

 

It's not hard to substitute for eggs in most vegan recipes. The

substitute used depends on the recipe it's being used in. Try some of

these and let me know how they work for you.

 

Ener-G Egg Replacer: This is the one I use most often in baking; it's

really only good for recipes that call for 1 or 2 eggs. You can find

it at natural food stores. One whole egg = 1 tsp powder + 2 tbsp

water. It's made from potato flour and other vegan leaveners.

 

Tofu: Tofu is great for egg substitutions in recipes that call for a

lot of egg (like quiches). To substitute for only one egg in a

recipe, whip 1/4 cup tofu and add to your cooking.

 

Stuff around your kitchen:

1 whole egg = 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp oil + 2 tbsp baking powder

1 egg = 1 tbsp ground flax seed simmered in 3 tbsp water

1 egg = 2 tbsp water + 2 tsp baking powder

egg white = dissolve 1 tbsp plain agar powder in 1 tbsp water. Whip,

chill and whip again.

 

For use in sweet baking:

Try substituting 1 banana or 1/4 cup apple sauce for each egg called

for in a sweet, baked recipe. These will flavour the recipe, however,

so make sure banana or apple will taste good in it.
