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).

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
