Gluten Free EGG Substitutes

[Grain Damaged]

Eggs add color, protein, volume and texture in our cooked and baked goods. Determine the purpose of eggs in a recipe to make suitable replacements.

One egg usually serves as a binder. In this case almost any egg substitute will be acceptable.

Two or three eggs in a recipe typically provide leavening. Good examples of egg substitutions for two or more eggs are Ener-G Egg Replacer or Baking Powder mixes.

Recipes like angel food cake and brownies will usually only work with real eggs.

Arrowroot
1 Egg = 1 tablespoon Arrowroot flour mixed with 3 tablespoons Water

Baking Powder
Mix #1: 1 heaping tablespoon baking powder, 1 heaping tablespoon oil, plus 1 tablespoon warm water
Mix #2: 1 heaping tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon cider or apple cider vinegar, plus 1 tablespoon warm water

Baking without Eggs
In most cases eggs can be eliminated from pancake, waffles, and biscuit recipes.

Banana
1 Egg = 1/2 large mashed banana or approximately 1/3 cup

Cornstarch
1 Egg = 1 tablespoon of Cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons of Water

Cookies without Eggs
Omit eggs from recipe. Add 1/4 teaspoon more baking soda, increase liquid (water, milk) a tablespoon per egg and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon more cooking oil. You can further substitute maple syrup for sugar as it acts as a binder. If dough seems too sticky, add a teaspoon of flour at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

Ener-G Egg Replacer
Works well in most recipes. Can be purchased at natural foods stores or via the Ener-G website.

Flaxseed
1 Egg = 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed to 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Boil for 10 minutes or use warm water and a blender to mix completely.

Fruit
1 Egg = 3 tablespoons pureed fruit (apples, apple butter, apricots, pears, prunes, baby food)
1 Egg = 2 tablespoons fruit juice and increase leavening about 50-percent

Gelatin
1 Egg = 1 teaspoon gelatin dissolved in 3 tablespoons of boiling water. Gel slightly in freezer for approximately 5 minutes. Beat like a regular egg and add to recipe. This adds a texture similar to real eggs.

Maple Syrup
For any baked good that calls for both eggs and sugar, omit both and substitute maple syrup. Add half as much syrup as sugar.

Soy
1 Egg = 1/4 cup Soy Milk

Tofu
1 Egg = 1/4 cup ground soft tofu

Xanthan Gum
1 Egg White = 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum with 1/4 cup Water. Let stand. When thickened this mix can be whipped and used as an egg white.

One more... I found that making a cake this week the recipe called for 2 eggs. I used 2 tsp. powdered egg replacer and 2 Tbl of vegenaise into the mix. It came out *beautifully*! It rose high and stayed moist and light and fluffy. Best cake EVAR! It was perfect. (Bob's Red Mill GF Chocolate Cake Mix BTW)
