I use a baking book called "The Joy of Vegan Baking" by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau It has the best recipes for novice or seasoned cooks. aleta email

It comes in a box that looks similar to a cake box. It is a little pricey, but once you do the math, it saves you tons over the cost of real eggs. I found mine in the gluten-free section of our local grocer. It works terrific in most the dishes that I use www

It makes a difference if you whip it up with hot water first. However, don't expect it to do exactly what eggs due to cornbread and cake! Colleen is amazing! We ran into each other at last November's Farm Sanctuary Festival of the Turkeys which we try to hit every Thankgsgiving. I captured some segments with Colleen on my flipcam and if you'd like to see her in "action", you'll find her at about minute 2 (introducing "Harrison") and minute 7 (pre-dinner commentary in the barn) on my video here: http://www.examiner.com/healthy-living-in-san-francisco/unbutton-your-jeans-farm-sanctuary-festival-of-the-turkeys She had designed the menu for the feast and it was way yummers! And the whole event is the best. Lani Lani Muelrath, M.A. CGFI, CPBN the Plant-Based Fitness Expert McDougall Health & Medical Center 5 Minute Fitness & Plant-based Blueprint www

It works really well for things like muffins, pancakes, cookies, etc. I've never tried it in sandwich bread. None of the breads I make call for eggs.

I think I may have years ago but it always seems I'm in too much of a rush! Thanks for the remind.

(So 2 T flax + 6 T water = 2 eggs) Yes! Just use 1 T flax + 3 T water for each egg needed. I've done it for up to 4 eggs and it works great!

I think the woman who baked them used Isa Chandra Moskowitz's cupcake cookbook. Don't make a New Year's Resolution...make a Decision!

agie Joined: 09/06/10 Posts: 27	RE: Egg substitute for baking Posted Monday, September 6, 2010 at 5:34 PM I use the Ener-G because it is gluten free as well as vegan. I have heard that you can use flax seed but I already get so much of that in my diet that I have not tried it. I have also heard that you can used mashed bananas or apple sauce. I would run a google search for vegan egg substitutes! BTW, the Ener-G only works to replace up to 2 eggs. I tried to do it with a four egg requirement and it did not work at all.
