Egg substitute for baking
« on: November 12, 2012, 00:55:20 am »
What do you use if you don't use eggs when baking?  I made some pumpkin muffies with applesauce and they seem so moist.  Almost like they aren't done, but it I left them in longer they'd be too done on the outside!  I also tried applesauce in pancakes and had the same result.  DS1 did say they were the best pancakes ever though  ::)

hmmm...I only ever do applesauce when I am also doing gluten free, so I'm not sure how it works out when using regular flour in a recipe!

Here's a link that was given to me by someone since we can't use eggs yet for DS because of allergy risk.

We use ground flax, I bought a big bad that I keep in the frig, It tells you in the back how much to use as a egg substitute.
I use it for everything since I run out od eggs all the time and since DD2 has so many allgeries I don't even chance eggs with her!

Ground flax seed sounds like a good idea.  I bet that adds more nutrients than applesauce!  I googled and found two different ways...one  simmering on the stove and one just mixing with water.  Which do you do?

The one you soak in water for 5 minutes before using.
