I Tried 6 Vegan Egg Substitutes For Baking Cupcakes 

Great comment!

I agree! I’ve tried a few of these and the water, oil, bakingpowder is probably my favorite! (I’m sad she gave it a 0.5 :0)

Ayeee my name is danica too but no k lol

I have a master's degree in nutrition/food science and was coming to leave a comment on this topic - perfectly said!

I was searching for this comment. More people should definitely know this. I learnt through trial and error

Merle you are one of my favorite people at buzzfeed and I’m so glad you work on the Goodful channel. We need more people working on this channel! I am not vegan I a do more blue zones kitchen so I eat at least 90% plant based food and I love learning from you.

💚💚💚💚💚

Donna C thank you, Donna! I really appreciate it

You definitely have to whip the aquafaba like you would an egg white! Just like when you want to make vegan meringue

Hey.. Thank you for the amazing video. Always love your videos. But here you have forgotten to try vegan yogurt (coconut yogurt). It's the best we have tried so far.

warwand7 HAHAAAA omg I’m dyin 🤣

@@MerleONeal same. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🌱

Thank you.

Lol

i just noticed!

Yes!!! A maybe a spoon of banana

Have you tried it ? I was just looking at this beautiful keto recipe I wanna see if she can remake with either of these vegan egg binders as a vegan lemon blueberry cake

@@pixelking_871 I haven't tried yet. But now that you're reminding me. I really want to

@@1sava tell us how it goes 😄

Husb with sweet tooth would def like this but too much sugar for me.

I need to try this

Canned Pumpkin!! Its so good 😁. So easy and fast, I mean two ingredients!! And its soo good 🤤

😋

I find golden flax to be disgusting

Sounds good. Will just sub applesauce for oil. Thx!

Thank you! Will try this tomorrow :)

How much is a package? :)

@@yellowsparklefish337 i don't know actually. it says that it is enough for 500g of flour. maybe try about 3 tablespoons

@@megafonundmo1458 That doesnt sound right for a recipe like this.....one package of Dr Oetker baking powder is roughly a teaspoon which is usually the case so I'd guess at 1 teaspoon.

Yeah I use that or applesauce for all my vegan baking(depends on the recipe)

Thx will try this 😊🌱

It's true! Search for depression-era cake or vanilla crazy cake, you'll find cakes made this way, I've tested them and they're great and super easy to do! Like, seriously 5 minutes to whip up, and then it's already in the oven.

I always do this! Baking powder in the dry ingredients and making a vegan buttermilk with soy milk and an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. Made the best muffins like this!

How does the vinegar not ruin the taste

you should check out julien solomita! he's vegan and gluten free :)

@@nellyglover2276 I was just going to comment that. There's a lot of what I eat in a day videos that you can get ideas from.

I sometimes dabble in gluten free cooking and yes, definitely more expensive overall. The methods I use for egg substitutes have always worked the same in gluten free recipes (cookies- cornstarch and water, cake/quick breads- vinegar and baking soda). In some recipes I will use a single type of GF flour, such as almond flour in cookies or food processed oats in pancakes, but that is because I am okay with having very different textures in those foods. If you want the most comparable result to a normal wheat recipe, then you need a mix of many different GF flours, especially if you are baking bread. You could buy many different single gluten free flours so you can fine tune your recipes and make your own mixes, but that becomes complicated and very expensive quickly. That's why I personally favor buying GF all-purpose-flour mixes. They are the most versatile in different recipes, give you more comparable results, and keep baking from becoming overly complex. I like King Arthur's GF all-purpose-flour, which has a 1 to 1 measurement ratio. No math conversions! ;) But if your entire household is gluten free then it might be worth while to invest in buying many single types of GF flours to experiment and make mixes yourself. And also maybe experiment with things such as cauliflower pizza or tacos in lettuce, foregoing expensive flours altogether. If you want to eat Vegan or if your brother has a dairy allergy, please be wary that many GF flour mixes contain milk products, which are added to help replicate the nice golden brown wheat flour turns when baked. There are a lot of GF cooking channels that probably could give you better advice than Goodful, which focuses primarily on Vegan cooking.

Hi! I'm gluten intolerant as well :) I recommend using rice flour, it is the best all-round substitute! Of course that won't help you make a pizza dough but it pretty much works for everything else :) You can also add in some corn or potato starch to add texture.

and it's cheap ;)

yep

still won't work, tried it with pancakes. and i've whipped my aquafaba into meringue-like stiff peaks. still, my pancakes aren't flippable at all and i ended up with a plate of scrambled dough.

Mia Foo HOW DID YOU WHIP YOUR AQUAFABA TO STIFF PEAKS!? I’ve tried and it didn’t work at all 😭

@@madmudd96 the only way its ever worked for me is with a mixer, i can't whip it with a whisk only

@@madmudd96 i added 1/4 tsp cream of tartar and beat on high with my handheld whisk for.... quite long. i'll say it takes at least twice as long (or more) as whipping egg whites... and they deflates pretty quickly too.

same

actually on he blog that merle was following she didnt whip the bean juice. no hate tho xx

Shreya Kannan oh definitely no hate... I love Merle :) Just a tip that may have changed the result for box cake mix... I have used whipped Aquafaba and it worked better but don’t know if it would have the same results on box mix 🤔

Same unless it's banana bread or banana pancakes leave the fruit alont

Except when you are allergic to flax. I've been searching desperately for help on baking and everyone keeps saying flax but I can't eat that either. I'm not vegan but can't have dairy, eggs, gluten, many types of fish, nearly all grains, several types of vegetables, the list goes on. Making food is frustrating I just want a muffin!

but umm, does it work for every kind of recipe?

they might still fall apart though.

I've made a vegan quiche with silken tofu. Didn't quite taste the same and was a bit liquidy but still delicious 😍 We also used black salt for a bit more eggy flavour

I actually recommend soy flour the most (it's yellow in colour, and you whisk a few teaspoons with water together before adding it to your wet mix). Or arrowroot powder. Flax meal is great too, though. Carbonated water adds fluffiness! 👍

Ailen Favero LOVE YOU BACK

I have made vegan brownie with flax/psyllium husk egg . They were so easy to make, and turned out perfect. I would share the recipe but it is in Danish

I use curd and it works beautifully

Wow what a great tip! Even for baking or just regular cooking ?

@@keho723 just for baking! specifically I tried it with a box cake mix, but I imagine it would work for a cake mix from scratch. :)

Lauren L. 🌻💚

most of the duncan hines box mixes are vegan :)

And considering more and more people want gluten free, vegan, fat free, sugar free stuff (all these in one), I'm scared of what they might be baking in the future.

cake pops!

honestly dont get why people want gluten free stuff if they dont need it.

@@ghostie_kat9762 yessss!!!! i totally agree! If I didn't need it, i would be eating real bread and pizza and pasta all day long.

@@sarahbickel5166 yeah like right, i can eat gluten and do. Most people see carbs and think "well, i don't want to get fat..." but carbs are healthy and your body needs them and not eating them actually slows down your metabolism making you gain weight if thats what the persons goal is. also foods without are highly proceed and have fewer nutritions. (also if you like cant eat gluten, than dont eat gluten. your body takes is different then people that can have it and you shouldn't be ashamed)
