Egg Substitutes For Recipes

Millennium Healthier Foods (my old blog) was going to a more transitional diet of eating less meat. It very hard to stop "cold turkey." This blog will help us start and succeed. (Mostly Vegetarian- next years, maybe vegan. ) This consist of back to "basic's" with survival healthy "basic" economical recipes. It’s concepts reflect "mild plant based food diet " ideas. I've lost 110 lbs so far using these concepts, and now way down on insulin. These posts are mostly about using only “organic, complex fibrous carbs, with no chemicals, or GMO-GE foods. I am an Herbalist (Canada '76), BA in Art Education, Sculpture, Educational Psychology, Teacher, and an Artist...also studied "European Studies" for an MA, Traveled a semester (Studies Abroad) in the UK and have five children, thirteen grandchildren !
Some of the pages are longer it discourages folks from copying my book for themselves ... this make it more costly to print for readers who plagiarizers (mostly for commercial purpose.) I've added post unrelated here for the same purposes. However do copy for your own use only, not for commercial use or your book, and any other media reproductions.
Egg Substitutes For Recipes
With the scares of poultry and its by-products its nice to have some egg re placer on hand in your pantry for those times we have no eggs on bake with. This is one of my handy pages to have in your recipes files for emergencies ("survival"). That's what these page of recipes are all about.
A popular egg substitute is Ener-G Ener-G Egg Replacer, which is basically made from potato starch, tapioca flour, leavening agents (calcium lactate, calcium carbonate, and citric acid) and a gum derived from cottonseed. It’s primarily intentions is to replace the leavening/binding characteristics of eggs in baking, but it can be used for no baked foods and quiches. Plus, it's very expensive so lets make our own with no preservative. Some alternative replacements (quantity per egg substituted for) are listed here: During the war many housewives discover that Mayo, which is mostly made of eggs was a good replacement for eggs. It leaves whatever its added to very moist. The chocolate mayo cake I make is actually better the next day. (or, make it a egg less mayo)
Bare in mind, just add to this these method or in recipes oil for the fat in the egg that will be missing. Popular now is blended beans for oil and it adds moisture and fiber. Just match the type of bean to the baking, like black beans for choc. i.e. Another, is the "non-dairy" made from potato starch and tapioca flour (Use one 1/2 teaspoon per egg and fold into the dry ingredients immediately before baking.) List of others ingredients that can be substituted for eggs are;

1. Ingredients: 2 oz of soft silken tofu can be blended with some water (bean)
2. Or try the same quantity... mashed beans, mashed potatoes, and oatmeal or nut butters.
3. ½ mashed banana
4. ¼ cup applesauce or another pureed fruit (fruits must be used up sooner. Not a long storage life. The "dumped cake" recipes are made up of old jars of fruit.
5. One tablespoon flaxseeds (found in natural food stores or Bob's Red Mill Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal is 2 Tbs = 8 g fiber) with 3-tablespoon water can be blended for 2 to 3 minutes, or boiled for 10 minutes or until desired consistency is achieved for substitution for one egg. Flaxseed flour is an oil replacement or this combination is great added to other egg replacements. Ratio 1-3 ground flax seed for 3 eggs in baking . Or ¼ cup Flax seed finely ground to ¾ cup water blend and use within 24 hours (1 egg is to 2 ½ T. Flax seed and 1 ¼ cup water. (Buy by bulk in HFS) Read the directions on "Bob Red Mill" package. (Mix the 1 tbs flax meal to 3 tbs water in a sm. bowl and let it sit for two minutes then add to a recipe as you would a egg.)
6. Soy Lecithin (cookies) in granules
7. 1-teaspoon soy flour plus 1-tablespoon water to substitute for one egg. (or organic corn starch)
8. Substitute for Eggs in Baking: Soy Flour can replace eggs in baked goods and casseroles. One heaping tablespoon of soy flour to one-tablespoon water to replace each egg. (Arrowhead Mills Brand?)
9. Potato starch, soy flour, wheat gluten with algin
10. (Algae) mix is an egg substitute. If you sensitive to fish product and wheat leave out the Algae and wheat gluten. (For those allergic to fish/ iodine type products, sea algae etc. (Algae is seaweed they don’t warn us about these fats on most labels.) Don't eat if allergic to fish.
11. Mashed potatoes (also, potato water enhances baking)
12. Psyllium seed 1 teaspoon to ¼ cup of water, let set 5 minutes
13. Tapioca Starch in oriental sections of grocery stores.
14. A very simple, professional egg substitute recipe: 1 tsp. baking powders, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tbls flour, 2 tbls water.
(Then Whisk & beat dry ingredients then add in wet for no clumps in small bowl, add last minute to any baking) This has excellent binding properties. (Mostly, for cookies)
16. Another collected recipe for an egg substitute is 2 tbls water, 1 tbls tapioca flour, 1 tbls coconut oil and ¼ teaspoon baking powders, Mix flour and baking powders than add oil and water and beat until it forms a peak. This is best for sweet pastries like cakes and cookies.
17. 1 teaspoon of protein powder = 1 egg (add in an oil for the oil in a real egg.)
18. Egg Substitute: (for baking) before starting recipe for cookies, cakes, etc, combine 1 tsp. unflavored, non animal, gelatin with 3 tbsp. cold water and 2 tbsp. -Plus 1 tsp boiling water. This mixture will substitute for 1 egg in a recipe for an egg less, and will work, but it will leave cookies moist for a while.
