Savory Dishes(as

binders/ coating)

Mashed Potatoes When a recipe in any savory dish like

Vegetable Loaves or

Burgers calls for eggs as a binding agent,

then any of these will work as an substitute

for eggs. When used for Frying (as an

coating of eggs and flour), you ca n use amix of all purpose flour + wate r to form

into a paste and apply that as coating

instead of beaten eggs.

Quiches, pudding

Tofu

Tofu is great for egg substitutions in recipes

cup soft tofu and add to your cooking.

This especially wor ks great f or puddings. 1

egg = 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water

Many y ears ago my mum made a Danish omelette (æggekage) which looking at a recipe t oday for 5 persons, uses 20 eggs. M um always used fresh

breadcrumbs (I helped to crumble the bread) and I have often wondered why. I cannot remember how many eggs she used. The only reason I can think she used

the bredcrumbs is the cost of eggs and coming out of the 1940′s depression (in NZ) she may have carried this substitution with her through time. How likely is

this, or is there another reason for the substitution. I have not found ONE recipe using breadcrumbs in the recipe, hence my thought that its a substitution she

made. Anyone with bright ideas please? Thanks

Not only does The Vegg offer the best egg replacers anywhere in the products T he Vegan Egg Yolk, The Vegg Baking Mix, The Vegg French Toast Mix and

now..the world’s first plant-based scrambled egg, The Vegg Scramble! http://www.thevegg.com/shop

I was making muffins and was out of eggs so substituted Mayonnaise. My muffins are made with homemade buttermilk so the Mayonnaise was perfect as it is

made from: eggs, oil and vinegar.

Rocky ShepheardMarch 2nd, 2015 on 4:17 am

I think the hands-down best egg replacer is The Vegg http://www.thevegg.com. It tastes like egg and bakes like egg! Here are some Vegg recipes

I disagree that “adding eggs makes t he end product so much bett er”. I hope no one is p ut off try ing egg free baking because of it!! I have been baking for years

without eggs and my backing since turning my back on eggs has been bett er than it ever was with eggs. There may be a few things that y ou can’t do so

easily….meringue….but p retty much all everyday baking can be done just as well if not bett er so don’t be afraid of baking without eggs! It might t ake some

trial and error but with the right recipes you won’t miss eggs at all!

8.

angelaJanuary 31st, 2015 on 8:58 pm

..vinegar and baking powder use when yon need three eggs as a subst itute, do you do this four times if you need 4 eggs?

9.

RosaJanuary 24th, 2015 on 9:02 am

I used the flaxseed and water substitution in zucchini loaf and my husband loved it better than the when I used eggs. Will stick with it and use in other recipes

that I want a more moist result.

atel76December 14th, 2014 on 11:51 am

I can’t tolerate soy, gluten, dairy. So instead of t ofu for quiche what is t here?

11.

KarenDecember 11th, 2014 on 9:19 pm

This is a wonderful and I’m sure, very time consuming on your part, site! I have been wanting to try to convert my mother’s rice pudding recipe into a veganrecipe. There are a lot of eggs in the recipe, for thickening and flavor. I am going to maybe do a half and half of the tofu and cornstarch substitute. We shall see

how it goes! Thank you for all of your time and effort!

AvishaDecember 10th, 2014 on 12:49 pm

Thanks for such a informative post. Here is a question.For Cake substitute Vinegar and baking powder–(Use this egg substitute in cake, only when you require

more than one egg for baking. M ix one tablespoon each of white vinegar and water in a glass. To this, add one teasp oon of baking powder and st ir well until

the mixture blends well. Now, use this egg substitute for your cake recipe.)Is t his per egg I should add this much. So 4 eggs will be times 4 the amount.

Very thorough list of options! I found it takes lots of experimenting to find the right solution for each recipe. What works in one recipe will not work that well

in another.

14.

joe November 27th, 2014 on 6:01 am

A friend of mine told that instead of 1 egg she uses the juice of 1 orange. The result is perfect. I haven’t tried it myself but will asap.

Greetings D&K,

Was looking for more egg substitute ideas, and your chart is very well laid out. Golden flaxseed here in Bolivia is very expensive, or not available. When I was

in America, I baked many products with golden flaxseed. So will try your soy FLOUR/water blended tip. I use soy FLOUR as a functional ingredient. I bake

by p ercentage s, and grams. Formulas. M ore creative and consistent! Please check out bbga.org. Also sfbi.com. has great baking classes.Even gluten-free, which

includes some vegan. One other comment was about a p ecan pie. One of my vegan books, (back in the st ates), used a combination of agar and arrowroot. The

sweetener is maple syrup and barely malt syrup. Bake a blind crust, toast the pecans. Simmer the syrups,with the agar till completely dissolved, then add thearrowroot s lurry. Simmer till clear, and pour over the filled crust. Chill. Please forgive me for not remembering the rat io of agar / arrowroot. Will try to see if I

can get it. But the combination is “custardy”. Good mouth-feel.

Thank you for your time and for reading this comment.

can you use any of these egg substitutes in a bread pudding? I was thinking of try ing to make one using tofu and coconut milk or rice milk

17.

Chris November 22nd, 2014 on 9:03 am

HOW DO i USE ARROWROOT AS AN EGG SUBSTITUTE IN SWEET POTATO PIE? WOULD GROUND FLAX SEED MIXED WITH WATER BE A

BETTER BINDER?

Cindy November 20th, 2014 on 8:45 pm

There are LOTS of egg free mayo options available. At Whole Foods you can get the brand new “Just Mayo” (company sponsored by Bill Gates). Most

stores with health sections have Nayonaise which is what I use.It is on the shelf. Veginaise is in the refrigerated section.They also have no cholesterol (no eggs)

and tend to be much lower in calories, too!

ana November 19th, 2014 on 9:19 am

I am allergic to eggs. M y kids love mashed potatoes with mayo. What t o do? Ughhh

Try tofu. See Isa’s recipe. She runs a vegan restaurant in Nebraska and has written several best selling vegan cookbooks. http://www.theppk.com/2011/08

My pecan pie calls for 3 eggs well beaten. Husband cannot have egg whites. What would be an appropriate substitute? Hope you might be able to help as that

is his favorite pie.

23.

Cindy November 15th, 2014 on 4:53 am

For crepes, it looks like people just omit the egg, that or increase the flour. Here are two similar recipes, and I do not see any substitution for the egg. Maybe

compare to y our recipe and tweak flour and soy /non-dairy milk accordingly. http://www.peta.org/living/food/vegan-crepes/ or http://allrecipes.com/Recipe

/Vegan-Crepes/ sounds good!

24.


Jeanette, I think each item replaces one egg. So it would be 3T of vinegar etc. I might use flax seed or chia seed instead of the one you looked at. You might also

google “vegan applesauce cake” and see what others use. Like here it looks like she is using some cornstarch. I p refer rice flour over cornstarch, I think

cornstarch is bitter, but see what others use in a similar recipe: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2012/12/applesauce-ginger-cake-with-maple-glaze.html

Kay November 13th, 2014 on 11:51 pm

I’m making Bahn Chiao, Cambodian crepes, what can I use instead of an egg as an combining agent?

This website discusses baking soda/powder replacements: http://www.veganbaking.net/tools/baking-substitutions and this site discusses what those ingredients

do in a recipe: http://happyherbivore.com/2011/12/baking-powder-and-baking-soda/

27.

Jeanette November 11th, 2014 on 6:34 am

My Applesauce cake recipe calls for 3 eggs. Do I do the following 3 times, or just the one t ime as you describe in the following? You have the following on

your s ite, it is a bit confusing not knowing if this is all I need for 3 eggs called in my recipe:

Use t his egg substitute in cake, only when you require more than one egg for baking. M ix one tablespoon each of white vinegar and water in a glass. To this, add

one teaspoon of baking powder and stir well until

the mixture blends well. Now, use this egg substitute for your cake recipe.

they can be used in cakes?

Thanks & regards

Mary November 2nd, 2014 on 1:32 pm
