What do you use to substitute egg yolks? When the purpose of the egg is moreso for the emulsifying properties of the yolk as opposed to the leavening properties of the white, what do you use? I have experimented with olive oil in combo with egg replacer, but I don't love it. I know that you can use flax, but this particular experiment had to be flax free. Any other suggestions?

vegetarian.about.com recommended mashing up half a banana or using 1/4 cup apple sauce.

What are you trying to make? If it's a dressing they do make vegan mayo which may be closer to what you are trying for. It's usually made from soy however, which I can't do so I don't know the brands that are both vegan and gluten-free off the top of my head.

ETA: sorry just noticed your siggy says you are soy free too. If you are looking for a recipe for egg free, soy free and gluten-free mayo (which can also be used for dressings) there is one here: Open Original Shared Link (I have not tried it)

I was making a couple of different things. Bread, scones and these chocolate cake thingys. For the bread, it's the yolk that gives it texture, as well as the white that makes it rise. I ended up putting a little more yeast and a little more EVOO and it was all good.

But for something like the cake, it was trickier. And its something that I don't particularly want to put a mashed up banana or applesauce in, for taste reasons. Guess I could give it a try and see, though.

Just curious if there are some tricks that I don't know about. B) Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far! Keep em coming.

Are you using any Xanthan gum or guar gum? Also if you are experimenting with texture there is a long thread here about using psyllium husk in bread. I don't know if those experiments were vegan however. Just a minute I'll see if I can find the thread.

ETA: Here it is:

It's an interesting read and might give you some new ideas. :)

I'm using both gums, separately, though. One is for someone who is corn allergic, down to the xanthan gum level. It's not that it has to be vegan, per se, but it's easier to ask it that way since it is for someone who needs it to be egg free and dairy free.

I'll have to check out psyllium husk, too. It's funny that you put that thread in there. I PM'd Riceguy for some advice, and in his answer was a mention of the Uprising thread. He is my baking hero! :D

Mommida: eggs are the hardest, IMO, to replace. They do SO much in baking.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
