Egg Replacer...how Well Does It Work?

[RissaRoo]

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

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!
