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!

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
