Suggestions for Egg Substitue?

Question

How much applesauce is required to substitue for an egg in a cake/cookie recipe? Do you know of any other good substitutes?

Answer 1

Applesauce usually replaces a portion of the fat in the recipe, like the oil or butter, NOT the egg. You can use applesauce to replace up to half of the oil or butter on a 1:1 ratio -- for instance if you recipe calls for 1 cup of oil, use 1/2 cup oil & 1/2 cup applesauce to reduce the fat and calories in the overall recipe. Because of the change, you'll want to reduce your baking time by 25%.

In an effort to meet the needs of those with egg allergies, or to increase the nutritional value of your recipe, you can substitute both the oil and egg in your dessert. There are a lot of substitutes for eggs -- and it's so simple to substitute because many of the ingredients you have right in your own kitchen. Here are a few you can try:

1 egg = 2 tablespoons liquid + 2 tablespoons flour + ½ tablespoon shortening + ½ teaspoon baking powder. (Add one or two drops of yellow food coloring if you need the yellow color the egg creates.)

flaxmeal (Make flaxmeal by grinding flaxseed in a blender until it has the consistency of cornmeal. Use two tablespoons flaxmeal plus 1/8 teaspoon baking powder plus 3 tablespoons water for each egg called for in recipe.

gelatin (To replace each egg: Dissolve 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin in 1 tablespoon cold water, then add 2 tablespoons boiling water. Beat vigorously until frothy.)

cornstarch (Substitute 1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 3 tablespoons water for each egg called for in recipe.

mayonnaise (Substitute 3 tablespoons mayonnaise for each egg called for in recipe.)

Ener-G Egg Replacer (Substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons Egg Replacer plus 2 tablespoons water for each egg called for in recipe.)

bananas (Substitute 1/2 of a mashed ripe banana plus 1/4 teaspoon baking powder for each egg.)

silken tofu (Substitute 1/4 cup tofu for each egg.)

fruit-based fat substitutes (Substitute 2 tablespoons fat substitute for each egg in recipe.)

Have fun baking!

Answer 2

The amount we use is 1/3 cup applesauce for each egg. There really isn't another good substitute. Some websites tell you to use egg whites instead of whole eggs or powdered eggs for the real thing.

Answer 3

If you get milled flaxseed it is a good substitute. 1 tablespoon with 3 tablespoons of water equals 1 egg, and flaxseed is so beneficial to our health.
