Anyone have a good substitute for eggs in brownies and cakes? I'm not having much luck with the egg replacer or the flax seed. Thanks for any ideas.

Kim.

My favorite egg replacer is 1 1/2T. water, 1 1/2T. oil, 1 tsp. baking powder = 1 egg. It works well for up to 2 eggs.

I have also used 1/4 c. applesauce = 1 egg

If I may add to Cheri's list:

1 egg

= 2 tablespoons oil plus 1 tablespoon water

or

= 1 teaspoon constarch lus 3 tablespoons more liquid in recipe

I got this info from a book titled Substituting Ingredients: An A to Z Kitchen Reference by Becky Sue Epstein and Hilary Dole Klein. It's very helpful for substituting all sorts of ingredients, plus has guidelines for subsituting dried herbs for fresh, has lists of measurement equivalents, and recipes for natural, homemade cleaning products.

My egg-free brownie recipe is more cake-like than regular brownies, but works well with the Ener-G egg replacer. I use maple syrup for the sweetener, so that helps too. Another idea is using unflavored gelatin - sorry I can't remember off-hand how much right now.

Perhaps finding a different recipe that has a different texture anyway would work? It's very hard to get egg replacers to duplicate certain tastes and textures.

      Second child with Celia

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By CJF · Posted

      I'm heading to the UK for a vacation the end of this month on a tour with Road Scholar. I haven't been out of the US since my diagnosis so I'm a little concerned about exposure to gluten during my travels. Most of our meals are provided by the tour. Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as well. Any helpful hints about navigating the restaurants in England is greatly appreciated. Also are there any medications out there to help mitigate the effects of exposure to gluten? Thanks in advance.
