What's Your Favorite Egg?

Hi,

I haven't posted much, but I have a question. I know there are lots of different recipes for egg substitutes... I've been googling and searched the forum, and then got overwhelmed a little. I thought I'd ask all of you:

What is your favorite egg substitute recipe?

What do you use it in?

I have tried the Energ one, and I want to try other alternatives, and thought I'd ask for some input on what worked best for you, especially in yeast breads.

Thanks. Turns out I am highly allergic to eggs and want to mimic it in baked goods.

I heard people use applesauce, gelatin, and a mixture of baking powder and vinegar to replace eggs. I really need to know how to replace eggs too. My daughter has to avoid all the top eight allergens and of coarse gluten too.

There are lots of other subs on that site too. I only use Ener g. I read to increase the amount of Ener g for a better rise (not sure about in bread though, never tried it). I use it in muffins, granola bars and sweet breads. I tried flax/chia once but can't remember the results. A banana worked good in cookies. If using applesauce, you may need to reduce the sugar or liquid a bit. Experiment with 1/2 recipes.

Google it on here for lots of comments ;)

My favorite egg subsitute is 1 1/2 T water, 1 1/2T oil, 1 tsp. baking powder mixed = 1 egg. It can be doubled, but doesn't work after that. I usually avoid recipes that call for more than 2 eggs.

I've also used 1/4 cup applesauce = 1 egg or 1/2 cup = 2 eggs in quick breads or muffins.

I've never tried the flax.

I have a box of Ener-G that I bought awhile ago. I used it for some cookies that were getting too much rise with the oil/water/baking powder combo.

Thanks so much for the responses. I had an idea yesterday to make my own batch of powdered egg replacer after reading all of your answers. I figure it'd be good to have on hand. I'll mix up a batch and see how it goes in some cookies.

Purple, your cookies picture is killing me... (Sigh). Did you bake those delightful looking gems, or are you just teasing me? (Cheezy grin).

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
