I wish I could tell you to substitute homemade egg replacer in any and all of your gluten-free recipes calling for eggs. But this is where things become problematic: eggs usually play a major structure-building role in gluten-free baking. Chia eggs are ideal for recipes that require the gel texture that eggs provide. Make a chia egg by mixing water with chia seeds and allow it to set until it has a gloopy consistency. This method may require a bit of trial and error to get right, but ¼ teaspoon of baking soda for every 1 tablespoon of vinegar is a good rule of thumb. Silken Tofu

As this was a first attempt, I went with option two. Egg replacers have clear instructions for how to mix them to create a whole egg, egg white etc so it felt like a safer option. Plus, I’d do just about anything to avoid cooking with aquafaba at the best of times. Aquafaba is an excellent vegan egg substitute and has similar properties to whipped egg whites. It’s ideal for making vegan meringues, macarons, buttercream, souffle and much more. Transfer the dough into a pipping bag. Pipe the choux on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Put the tray in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. The vegan choux pastry needs a bit more time in the oven than the vegetarian ones. I hope that this gave you lots of ideas for swapping out eggs and helped you modify your favorite recipes into egg-free recipes!

If you're vegan (or baking for someone who is!) see our collection of vegan desserts, which not only skip the eggs but also the dairy. Happy baking! Our recipe for Gluten-Free Brownies calls for 3 large eggs, and just 3/4 cup gluten-free flour; clearly, it's eggs that are building structure. So what happens when you substitute homemade egg replacer? But for anything that needs to rise more than an inch or so, I'd guess real eggs, providing the needed structure gluten-free flour can't, are a necessity. On the left, flax gel rolls – again, notice their subtly darker color. But their taste is identical to rolls made with real egg.

Gluten-free brownies made with homemade egg replacer on the left; and on the right, made with eggs. Wheat flour adds structure and strength to baked goods via its protein-based gluten. Replace wheat flour with gluten-free flour, and you need to replace the "structure builder" – and the replacement is usually protein-rich eggs. For a while I wondered if this was going to work out, my ‘eggs’ were whisking up nicely but I wasn’t quite sure if they’d be fluffy enough. And at the point I’d taken them out of the oven, I wasn’t sure if it was a success. Using egg replacers doesn’t have to be confusing! Learn about the different types of vegan egg substitutes and when and how to use them in this guide.

OMG! I am not vegan or even vegetarian, but I have strong vegan tendencies and have been visiting your blog for a while now for some wonderful vegan inspiration.

Thesodium bicarbonate and the cream of tartar in thebaking powderreact when combined with liquid and rise instantly. Not saying I will turn vegan tomorrow (seafood is my vice, but at this point I only buy wild caught seafood, as I do not want the farmed stuff), but I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful and tasty recipes that make me not miss most of the animal products. Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge, but thanks to all of your recipes (and now, all of the wonderful egg replacement tips), I know I am not alone and our vegan meals are so tasty and so much fun to cook. You can also use various common foods as egg replacers. A good substitute will be able to bind baked goods together, as well as produce light and fluffy cakes and muffins. Don’t despair if you can’t eat eggs- you can still make delicious egg free desserts.
