Egg-replacers For Namaste Mixes

I've tried the Blondies with an egg replacer and applesauce. They tasted good but the texture was off some.

Does anyone have a Namaste Mix that they love that works really well with a replacer? :)

Thanks!

I have not tried to replace the eggs in any of the mixes, but aren't these just the BEST!!!!

I made the muffins yesterday morning but instead of a cup of water, I used 2 mashed bananas and "about" 1/2 cup water, plus added 3/4 cup chocolate chips. My 10yo was crazy over them "mom these are the BEST muffins EVER, can you make them for my class.....blah blah blah". I also made the brownies last week and subsituted an individual sized applesauce for half the oil. They turned out so good, chewy, moist, like a "real" brownie, even DH, who isn't altogether happy about the new gluten free baking (misses his "old cookies and brownies") seems happy about the Namaste mixes so far. I will be ordering those in bulk!!!

(I am not baking unless I can eat it, which is why he is unhappy, But I am slowly finding things that come close to the old ways.)

Hmmm.. I'll have to go check them out... do they have rice flour in them?

I haven't used this mix either but my favorite egg replacer is 1 1/2T water, 1 1/2T oil, 1 tsp. baking powder for each egg. Have you tried that?

I've also used the waffle mix but I didn't get the results I wanted with those without the eggs. I did like the flavor of the blondies. My co-op is running a special on these mixes by the case and I thought about trying some other things.

From what I can tell most of the mixes do have rice. They're good for those of us who are cooking without soy, dairy etc. Thanks for the replacement suggestion. I'll try that next time. I had been using Ener-G egg replacer with water and applesauce.

I just bought a Namaste Brownie mix, but when I got home I discovered you need to add a CUP of oil...yikes! I'm wondering if I could use something like applesauce for part of the oil. A cup is a horrendous amount of oil for something like that. Any ideas?

I halved the oil and replaced it with a small indivdual size of applesauce (somewhere between 1/4-1/3 cup). They were fine, yummmy!!!! and as good as "normal" brownies, and I have tried SEVERAL different mixes, so far these are the hands down winner in my house.

This is a great idea. When I made the Blondies they we're VERY oily.

Thanks, I think I'll give the brownies a try! :)

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By trents · Posted

      It occurs to me that this might be a good application for gluten test kits, since the test kits seem to require samples in power form and pills can easily be rendered in that form. According to this article, and it seems to be current, there are three choices when it comes to gluten test kits: https://www.verywellhealth.com/gluten-detectors-and-test-kits-comparing-the-options-4126736 While it is not an inexpensive solution, at least it shouldn't be necessary to use very often once you establish a med either is safe or not.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Same problem in Pittsburgh.  Have Hashimato's so been taking Mylan (generic) levothyroxine for many years.  Pharmicist tried to routinely order yesterday and called to tell me it's unavailable.  That I could try to find elsewhere and have script forwarded to them.  Just spent couple of hours online researching.  What a pain for so many of us!  Using http://glutenfreedrugs.com/newlist.htm (which know is old and doubt updated) reminded me that long ago I used to take Sandoz brand.  Just went on their website and appears they no longer make (maybe why switched to Mylan).  Back to square one.  Using chart from glutenfreedrugs.com says for manufacturers I'll list afterwards "Manufacturer doesn't knowingly add gluten, however since they don't do any final testing they won't guarantee it to be gluten-free but it is very unlikely that it is contaminated with gluten."  Might be best I/we can do.  Along with Mylan, those manufacturers on chart are: Lannett (per website still make) and Neopharma (didn't find on their website).  Paloma Health's website says CERTIFIED gluten free are:  Lannet brand of levothyroxine, Nature-Thyroid, Tirosint (expensive), WP Thyroid.  Other thyroid meds that are gluten-free but not certified:  Levoxyl, Synthroid, Euthyrax, Mylan Brand (wish could get), and Armor with a caution contains sodium starch glycate which may contain gluten.  I'll submit Lannett to pharmacist.  If successfull, will share.

      Am I celiac or not?

      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.

      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.
