Egg Replacer?

Question

What can I use as an egg replacer? I need something that is almost the same but vegan.

Answer 1

Egg Substitutes
Eggs are used to bind a dish and, when whipped, may also incorporate air making a cake or pudding very light. There's one ready-made egg substitute suitable for vegans - General Dietary's Ener-G egg replacer - which is available from health food shops. This can be useful, especially for tricky foods like meringues. However, many recipes can be adapted using one of the suggestions below. Just remember to bear in mind the final dish - you can't use banana as a substitute when making a quiche!


instead of 1 egg, you can use...
1 tbs gram (chick pea) or soya flour and 1 tbs water
1 tbs arrowroot, 1 tbs soya flour and 2 tbs water
2 tbs flour, 1/2 tbs shortening, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp water
50g tofu blended with the liquid portion of the recipe
1/2 large banana, mashed
50ml white sauce

Answer 2

There are commercial egg replacers available in health food stores. Sometimes you can just mix cornstarch with water until it is close to the consistency of egg white and use that. Works fine in most recipes for baked goods. For scrambling, "egg" salad, etc, use firm tofu colored with a pinch of turmeric or yellow mustard. Soft tofu can be used in some baking situations if you want to be sure to get the protein, but I seldom bother, as I usually only buy firm tofu. (I always have cornstarch on hand.)

As an effective egg-replacer in baked products, and in dough etc. As long as you don't expect to be able to scramble it like eggs (where've you been?! tofu is excellent for that, look up a 'tofu scramble' recipe) then you should be okay.

Answer 4

Try overripe mashed bananas or applesauce. (In baked goods. I can't know how to replace fried or boiled eggs)
Enjoy!
