Baking With Egg & Milk Substitutes

February 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment

If a baking recipe calls for eggs, you can easily make it vegan by using any of the following egg replacements:

  • Ener-G egg replacer
  • You can find this egg replacer at most health food stores, like Mother Earth in Gainesville.

  • 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 tsp. baking powder = 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup pureed soft tofu = 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup soy yogurt = 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch + 3 Tbsp. water = 1 egg
  • half a mashed banana = 1 egg
  • This is best for sweet recipes if you don’t mind a hint of banana flavor.

When a recipe contains milk, simply substitute plain or vanilla soy, rice or almond milk.

If you try any of these replacements, leave a comment and let us know how it went.

    I’ve been using plain soy milk to make everything from pastas to baked goods for years. It really makes no difference. Although all soy milk has a slightly sweet flavor, it doesn’t show up at all in salty dishes.
