What's Your Favorite Egg?

[luv2cook]

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).
