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! :)

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.
