Chef tries 3 Egg Substitutes for Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

[@melodioushaste]

Flax wins for sure, and don't chill it overnight.. and definitely don't roll it into a ball. Scoop it directly when the batter is made.

[@ungloomed]

The sheer number of sweet potatoes you have on your counter is inspirational.

Thank you! I love it so much!! So fancy 😜

[@jakeylakey619]

It’s beautiful!

[@EvandroGiachetto]

Awesome. Thanks for that. Next time, try to beat the aquafaba until it reaches peaks. Its optional, but you can add a tsp of vinager per 120ml of aquafaba and that will help the aquafaba to stabilize when baking. Just beat that the same way you would beat egg whites. It takes a little more time but it gets there.

[@mjohnson01171]

you should try whipping the aquafaba first ever slightly

[@aidam5277]

I like applesauce as an egg substitute

[@laurenbi]

You can reduce some sugar w that too!

[@destinymcgowan5328]

I usually use that too

[@yassine8935]

How do you get rid of the apple taste tho

[@aidam5277]

@@yassine8935 I've use all natural apple sauce no added sugar and I don't taste it

[@destinymcgowan5328]

@@yassine8935 There's no apple taste if you use unsweetened and here's an exact ratio that you are supposed to use to replace eggs Replace one egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce in sweet desserts. If you want a lighter texture, add an extra 1/2 teaspoonful of baking powder, as fruit purées tend to make the final product denser than the original recipe.

[@matthewpickwick3442]

[@ffiontill5924]

Yes. I love these types of testing videos. Could you do one with different toes of flours? Like is there a real reason to use buckwheat flour instead of plain flour? Also to use chickpea flour is “better” for protein content but does it change texture and taste? great video thank you!

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Yes, let's do that. Thanks for the idea :)

[@carmenmilton9145]

I've used aqua faba but I whip it up into a meringue first. That might help your cookies to spread more.

[@MarvinImp]

I do the same when I make baked donuts, just fold in the meringue gently and it should give them a great texture!

[@AdrianMoran]

I use a slightly different flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flax + 3 Tbsp hot water), but it's my standard for cookies, muffins, quick breads, etc. I have great success with it in that kind of recipe. I keep saying I'm going to try aquafaba with some recipes that need more of a meringue-type texture. Flax is never going to give you that.

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Nice!

[@arayahmariah]

that blue bowl 😍😍😍 that cream colored sweater 😍😍😍 that necklace with the cream sweater 😍😍😍 😊

[@yakzivz1104]

You can also use either apple sauce or plum puree as an egg replacer.

[@brittanyvond.491]

My favorite cookie recipe is Ovenly's secretly vegan salted chocolate chip cookie recipe. There's no egg replacer or butter in the recipe, which means that I usually have all the ingredients at home 😅 The cookies spread nicely and are delicious even without the extra salt on top.

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Yummy!!

[@seciliafeliz]

I love the flax egg one myself! I don't usually refrigerate them and they spread nicely.

[@edo2097]

You can also use psyllium husks to replace eggs, and it works wonders!

[@edo2097]

@ylva 7 nope, it's made from psyllium husks. It's not flaxseeds. In my opinion it works better, especially for cake doughs.

[@margarett_b]

6:58 I was wondering if the ratio of flax-to-water was not to high in your flax egg. If the dough was sandy, maybe it needed a bit more water/plant milk?

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Yeah, but that end result and later tests all turned out perfect :)

[@catebessencourt2137]

I agree! Flax is always the best for vegan baking

[@brandonwooten4079]

The aquafaba cookie dough is best rolled and baked 30 min only in the refrigerator. Not over night. They do get hard and are not the same. They need to be made right away, after they have chilled for 30 min in the refrigerator😘

[@kimberlyburke248]

I agree. I believe refrigerating overnight was too long.

[@coffeewithbethany7777]

Chia seeds and flax seeds always make the best egg replacers in recipes

[@yakzivz1104]

yeah I forgot about chia seeds

[@iis.1989]

Each time when vegan egg substitutes for baking are put to the test, the flax seed one is the winner. And I am glad because it is cheap, accessible, easy to make, healthy, etc.

[@d.k.2272]

I use flax or applesauce. I make awesome peanut butter cookies that taste just like my grandma used to make with a traditional recipe and just use flax for the eggs. For my flax eggs though I use a rounded tablespoon of ground flax and 3 tablespoons of warm water per each. The cookies turn out crispy on the edges and bendy chewy. They just don’t hold the hatch marks, but the flavor and texture is just like my childhood. Great video. Loved the music. 💚

[@ejwilliams2002]

I like chocolate chip cookies made with chickpea flour. No need for a egg replacement and tastes amazing!! Don't eat the cookie dough though...uncooked chickpea flour leaves much to be desired.

PS -- we signed up for Purple Carrot back in Oct using your code and we love it!!! ✨

[@Stoic2000]

Thanks for the inspiration. About to make some flaxseed cookies because they create a nice consistency. I think if you put one of each onto the baking tray and use the same volume of liquid it would be a better comparison as they would also have the same amount of cooling time.

[@NatalieWisler]

And that’s why oats are ✨magical✨🤩

You gotta smash em down a bit before baking if they won’t have that butter spread, and especially if you frig/freez em! I usually make the balls, then freeze those, and then bake from frozen. But with butter, they spread perfectly. I’m gonna modify the doubletree recipe cookies (my favorite!) to vegan, and was gonna try the flax seed method first. I’ll let you know...

[@rekkhar8766]

I wonder if baking them without chilling the dough would make it less hard?

[@susanjohn6506]

I wondered too, especially as they chilled overnight, or leaving them out of the fridge longer before cooking.

[@xfortunesquex]

That's what I'm wondering. If they go in sooner, they might spread more. Also even if they are sealed, I wonder if chilling it gives the flour time to suck up the moisture, also keeping them from spreading. And maybe to just gently flatten them a little too since vegan cookies sometimes don't spread.

[@Abb5ieBM]

from what i understand, generally you only need to chill cookie dough for 30-60 minutes if you want them to spread out less, since chilling the dough alters the temperature of the fat content. since she used coconut oil, which is solid at room temperature, AND chilled the dough overnight, that's probs why they barely spread. maybe not chilling this dough could have made it act more like chilled cookie dough containing a more liquid oil. still looks great though!

Please try it I know it will become one of your favs.

[@kemunapeace2441]

I think you are supposed to reduce the bean juice until it gels a little first then cream it. It probably froze so hard because it still had too much unbound water content.

[@kemunapeace2441]

I love that you show the cookie breaking and describe the texture. A lot of times the experiments aren't helpful at all because they leave that out. I have watched some where they don't even pan in on the finished product at all, definitely not cutting into it or showing texture. It's probably from them being rookie KZbin creators.
