1 Egg can be replaced with this:

1 tbsp lightly ground flax, just enough to break the skins is all that is needed really. I grind myself in a mortar and pestle as fresh is always best! The pre-ground flax meals have lost some of their nutritional value.

Then soak for ten minutes in 2-3 tbsp warm water, stir once or twice. Water will become thick and slimy like the white of an egg.

In recipes where I don’t care if flax seeds are present I add the whole mixture but you can also strain out seeds and simply add the liquid.

Thanks for the info Hannah.

hi ..First time here.. .loved your concept of eggless baking I am slowly getting into this baking spree…

What is Ener -G?? I live in London.. Dunno wot ingredient is it?

I have got one more query… wot is the difference between plain flour & all purpose flour?? i hardly find all purpose flour in tesco’s ..

Cheers
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya, EnerG is an egg replacement powder made with potato/tapioca starch and leaveners. It is vegan. Check for its availability in any health food stores or organic aisle of regular supermarkets. Also check this link. http://www.ener-g.com/Articles/ArticlePage.aspx?pageId=445

When Googled I found that plain flour and all purpose flour is one and the same.

You are right …spray does make it brown…I used medium ground yellow cornmeal…which was difficult for kids to eat…will try with a softer cormeal next time !

hi madu,
i tried to find the ENER-G egg replacer in dubai and couldnt find it. what can I add instead of it in your recipies.help.

Hi Maryam, in this particular recipe you can try 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of baking soda in place of 1 egg. You can also try flax seed meal substitution. I can’t simply tell one replacement for EnerG, it depends on the recipe, the flavors going in etc. For the vegan apple cake (for which I have used EnerG) you can try with unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.

Wow! That’s wonderful. I’ll check it out immediately.

Hi Madhuram

I liked the recipe and will try it out sometime. I wanted to know about the calories for one corn muffin.

Let me see if I can find it out.

They look yummy! May I ask what that Ener-G exactly is that you are substituting the eggs with?? Thank you Katarina. Ener-G is the brand name for egg replacer powder which is a blend of potato starch, tapioca starch and leaveners. Check here for more details.
