BAKING TIPS: EGGS SUBSTITUTION FOR BAKING

Today, vegetarian diets are popular. Reasons for a vegetarian diet are varied but include health benefits, such as reducing your risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers as well.

And for some of us who has/ have young kid/s at home, who might be eggs allergy, and this can occurs as early as infancy. Just like my 2 kids who have eggs allergy when they were very young.

Some might be due to religions.

With the above, some times, we might face some difficulties when we want to do baking. Hence, today, I would like to share some tips for “EGGS SUBSTITUTION FOR BAKING” .

1. Silken Tofu
   1/4 cup pureed = 1 egg

   Because tofu absorbs other flavors well, it makes a perfect, tasteless substitute for eggs in recipe     that need extra moisture.

2. Yogurt/Buttermilk
    1/4 cup = 1 egg

   Yogurt and buttermilk make baked goods more moist and flavorful.

3. Flaxseed Powder
    2 1/2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg

4. Vinegar and Baking Soda
    1 tablespoon vinegar + 1 teaspoon baking soda = 1 egg.

5. Agar Powder
    1 tablespoon agar powder + 1 tablespoon water = 1 egg white

6. Banana
    Use 1/4 cup of mashed banana (from about half a banana) instead of one egg when baking.
