Egg Replacer...how Well Does It Work?

Just wondering...for those of you who've used that Energ-E egg replacer instead of eggs, and how well does it work? Thanks!

I have only used it a few times. It works great in Karina's breakfast brownies (bar type recipe) from Open Original Shared Link

She uses it many recipes if you want to read them.

It worked great in maple muffins.

I forgot what else I tried it in.

I use it in all of my baking, and I can't tell a difference. Except that I don't feel sick from eating eggs :lol:

You could also try applesauce or banana (or I have a recipe that uses both!)

I used it a few times and found it made things a little drier and denser. As I remember, you need to add a little more liquid to make up for this (?)

I've had very mixed results with it. So much so that I usually use flax meal instead.

I also used it in this:

I had mixed results with the Ener-G egg replacer, too. I prefer to use oil, water, baking powder combination or fruit. I have always wanted to try the flax but seem to rely on the tried and true. I just don't have time for a "flop" right now, lol.

i've used it in recipes that call for it, and to sub eggs when i run out of eggs. i haven't noticed any difference in taste/texture. seems good to me.

Eggs serve multiple purposes in recipes. They are many times a binder or a leavener. In my experience, Ener-G egg replacer works in recipes where eggs would be a leavener, and not very well in recipes where eggs are a binder.

I use it just fine and love it. I rather like flax seed but some of my family do not like the taste, so, Ener-G wins out!

Thanks, guys...this is really helpful!

I have never used the egg replacement mentioned....have only used flax and have had great results! my "egg free" baking always turns out nicer than my baking with eggs!

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      How can you be negative for HLA?   What markers did you have here? Curiouser and curiouser...
