Just finding your channel 😊 I’m allergic to eggs and every year I try finding a new eggless cake/cupcake recipe that I can eat for my kids birthdays. Plus we live a artificial dye free lifestyle so all kinds of substitutes in our lives. Looking forward to more of your eggless recipes. It’s really helpful 💯
Thanks Rachel for your supportive comment. It’s lovely to know when someone finds a recipe useful. It sounds like you have a challenge in your house! I will be making a new video very soon.
Ground Flax meal can also be used for an egg substitute. My cake came out a bit more crumbly, but it did expire in 2016 (I added a spoonful of baking powder in case that's what "expired"). Maybe that was the problem. YOu use a Tablespoon of flax meal with 3 TBS of water for each egg, I think. It's on the package. It's pretty dark brown, so might discolor a white cake
Well, she did use an exorbitant amount of both, considering the very small amount of flour. In baking, the vinegar is supposed to cause a chemical reaction with baking soda that immediately creates air bubbles. In doing so, they both neutralize each other's flavors. I have used mashed beets in chocolate cakes (the ones that are sold in jars, pickled in vinegar) and you would never even know they're there. It's all about the right proportion and right amounts. (Mind you, I always drain the beets, because the vinegar within is enough)
Thank you for sharing this video. My daughters have both been vegan at certain times and I have had to adapt for family get togethers. I learned alot from your presentation.😊 Your quality control team is adorable ☺️ty 🧁
The chia seeds I thought were supposed to be grounded first, and then put in warm water and mixed. Then set for a couple minutes. I don't think you did grounding of the chia seeds. Chia seeds are supposed to melt in the water and not look 'seedy' in the product. I've not used chia seeds in ages, as I gave up baking.
@Easily Eggless - I grind them up because otherwise the texture is objectionable. However, if you grind them, now the color of your baked goods is objectionable. It works just fine in vegan brownies.
the chia seed replacement would be much better if you ground the chia seeds first. throw half a cup of chia seeds in your bullet blender then pit them in a jar in your pantry. when ready to use take 1 tbsp and mix with 3 tbsp of water. allow to sit for 10 minutes while you ready everything else. check to make sure it's nice and gloopy then add. each one is one egg.
I have a recipe for a chocolate miracle whip cake that has no eggs. Miracle whip and mayonnaise both are made from eggs but for some reason the mayonnaise doesn't work but the miracle whip does. One fourth cup equals one egg.
I enjoy watching your video, I'm trying to stop eating eggs ( which I love😢). I needed a replacement because I also love pancakes/flapjacks very much, ran across your video. It was very interesting. Love your boys (I have three boys)😊 they made me laugh. I'm going to try the egg replacement to make my pancakes, and I'll try it with banana another time ( I like banana). And maybe just maybe with the Chia seeds. Thank you.
....:) Those Kids are just Toooooo Cute....!!!!....Plus, Hoping they did NOT have a Tummy ache the Next day, from Cupcake Over-Load...!!!......LOL......:)
My favorite egg replacement is mayonnaise. It works well because it is made from eggs. However, since the egg shortage the mayo seems very watery, so maybe it will not work as well now. Everything thing seems runnier now...peanut butter, shortening, mayo, ketchup etc.
I've seen the Vinegar one done with white vinegar, not apple cider vinegar. And your "applesauce" had chunks in it. Not like the unsweetened applesauce I've seen used. I use sweetened applesauce to replace the oil in a cake mix, but it does come out a bit dry. If you have flax meal (ground up flax seeds) you can use those for egg substitutes. Might discolor a lighter colored cake mix. But was fine in chocolate cake. The chia seeds, or whole flax seeds, would just go right through you, wouldn't they?
Another channel said not to mix the vinegar and baking soda in a metal bowl or bake in a metal pan. Reaction with the metal or something. I used to always substitute with mayonnaise.
Ma'am, It's Chee-ah seeds. Have you tried Aquafaba as an egg replacer? I'm no vegan, but for grins 'n giggles, I veganised a egged waffle recipe using flax eggs in for the yolks and aquafaba in for the eggwhites. Worked a treat.
Hi Kristin, no it was sweetened applesauce which is where I went wrong!! However my boys didn’t like the bits of apple even though they like eating apples! Kids can be sooo fussy!
