What's Your Favorite Egg?

Hi,

I haven't posted much, but I have a question. I know there are lots of different recipes for egg substitutes... I've been googling and searched the forum, and then got overwhelmed a little. I thought I'd ask all of you:

What is your favorite egg substitute recipe?

What do you use it in?

I have tried the Energ one, and I want to try other alternatives, and thought I'd ask for some input on what worked best for you, especially in yeast breads.

Thanks. Turns out I am highly allergic to eggs and want to mimic it in baked goods.

I heard people use applesauce, gelatin, and a mixture of baking powder and vinegar to replace eggs. I really need to know how to replace eggs too. My daughter has to avoid all the top eight allergens and of coarse gluten too.

There are lots of other subs on that site too. I only use Ener g. I read to increase the amount of Ener g for a better rise (not sure about in bread though, never tried it). I use it in muffins, granola bars and sweet breads. I tried flax/chia once but can't remember the results. A banana worked good in cookies. If using applesauce, you may need to reduce the sugar or liquid a bit. Experiment with 1/2 recipes.

Google it on here for lots of comments ;)

My favorite egg subsitute is 1 1/2 T water, 1 1/2T oil, 1 tsp. baking powder mixed = 1 egg. It can be doubled, but doesn't work after that. I usually avoid recipes that call for more than 2 eggs.

I've also used 1/4 cup applesauce = 1 egg or 1/2 cup = 2 eggs in quick breads or muffins.

I've never tried the flax.

I have a box of Ener-G that I bought awhile ago. I used it for some cookies that were getting too much rise with the oil/water/baking powder combo.

Thanks so much for the responses. I had an idea yesterday to make my own batch of powdered egg replacer after reading all of your answers. I figure it'd be good to have on hand. I'll mix up a batch and see how it goes in some cookies.

Purple, your cookies picture is killing me... (Sigh). Did you bake those delightful looking gems, or are you just teasing me? (Cheezy grin).

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
