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!

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
