🤯 How to make CHEAP and EASY Egg Substitute / Best Egg Replacer Recipe

#vegan #egg #noeggs
This is seriously the best egg replacer I've found yet! It had the consistency of an egg and works wonderfully in my baked goods. I've tried other egg replacers like Just Egg, but it is expensive and has a short shelf-life. This recipe whips up in no time and is very inexpensive. You can freeze it and use it when you need it. I'm not turning back!
Whether you're allergic to eggs, vegan, or just tired of high egg prices, this genius egg substitute is a real game changer. It's better in baked goods and pastries than most egg replacers like aquafaba or others.

Thank you so much! 😊 I have always wanted to be a cook/baker, but I’m allergic to eggs. This helped out a ton! 😀

[@MaggiesMusings]

Yay!! This is a great egg substitute for baking!! 😃

[@dfros1957]

Thank you so much. I have a sister that is highly allergic to many foods including eggs. Her birthday is coming up and I want to make her a fourless chocolate cake. She cannot eat anything with eggs in it without breaking out into a very terrible itchy rash, and it lasts for day. She has not had cake for 3 years. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you again. 😊❤️😊

[@MaggiesMusings]

You're very welcome! I've not tried this with a flourless cake recipe. You may want to try it out ahead of time. I do know that it works extremely well with my cake and bread recipes using flour 😀

[@enockkofiosei]

Fantastic, well done, going to do it soon

[@PreciousPriscila]

Oh thank you!!!! I will try this to my recipes 🙏

Brilliant idea, I never thought you could do that, thanks

[@MaggiesMusings]

It's really cool stuff. I'm working on using it as a meringue and as a substitute in cocktails that normally call for raw egg white. So far, things are working well!

[@jackiekushnick9700]

Thank you so much! I have successfully used the typical flax egg in the past, but this looks like it would work out so much better! I’m going to try this :)

Best flax egg I have used. It is so awesome how they hold their shape so well. I have a great mold that gives them the egg shape and when they thaw they still have alot of the form. How long can these flax eggs last in the refrigerator? How long in the freezer.

[@sashismith1022]

Good idea. My aunty used apple sauce as egg substitute when baking.

[@MaggiesMusings]

Yes! I've seen lots of recipes with apple sauce, too :)

[@Riverwillow2323]

That's great!! Also can you tell me what this replaces in the egg like adding moisture, binding and levening? Or probably it would just provide moisture and binding.

[@MaggiesMusings]

It works as a binder. Vinegar and baking soda is a good leavener 🙂

[@lauratempestini5719]

Thank you for this valuable information!!! How did you discover it?

[@MaggiesMusings]

You're welcome! It's not my original idea. I've forgotten where I first heard of it. It's a great idea though!

[@KeithKropf]

Thank you, I'll try this! Does this cook/set to where it will hold its shape when cooked? I want to try it in my baked 'ulu pudding, which needs to "stand up" when cut into pieces.

[@MaggiesMusings]

Hmmm. Not sure. I don't think it will firm up on its own. Have you tried agar agar?

[@alan19844]

It is easy and it does work great, thanks for the posting!

[@MaggiesMusings]

Thanks! I really am pleased with how well it works in my baked goods! Let me know how it works for you! 😊

[@momma2mnem]

Could you share any more details about how you use it from frozen? Do you microwave it? Or do you have to thaw it quite ahead of time? Are there any types of recipes that this doesn't work well in? Thanks!

[@MaggiesMusings]

If you freeze it in an ice cube tray, the cubes don't take long to thaw. I have microwaved it but you want to let it come to room temp before adding it to your other ingredients. Also, I mix it well with a fork before measuring to make sure it hasn't separated. I'm pretty new to this method but had great success with it and wanted to share. It's been great so far in everything I've tried!

[@momma2mnem]

Thanks so much for the fast reply! I can't wait to try it! :)

[@MaggiesMusings]

@@momma2mnem You're welcome! Please let me know how it works out for you! 🥰

[@jozefkovalcin199]

Just curious. Does the gel contain any calories that it got from the flaxseeds?

[@MaggiesMusings]

I imagine it has some. If you are counting calories or macros, I would probably use the same as with whole seeds just to be safe. The fiber would be missing though. I wonder if you Googled it there might be info on it?

[@shubhaoak2165]

Can flax seed( psyllium) husk also be used as an egg substitute ?

[@MaggiesMusings]

I think the seed itself is what produces the gel.

[@channelldaniels594]

Im gonna use it for dredging. I saw a chicken salad sandwich dredge in egg and panko, then fried. So here i go all vegan all natural.

Nice! Let me know how it turns out!

[@ii-dh7lq]

I don’t know if you already answered this question but I was wondering how long they can be stored once they’re frozen. Btw English is not my first language so I apologize if I made some mistakes

[@MaggiesMusings]

Your English is great! I think they will last at least 6 months frozen.

[@ii-dh7lq]

@@MaggiesMusingsthanks!

[@logunder4597]

I tried using this for brownies, but ended up with more of just a chocolate cake. I found that the egg is the thing that cooks and forms the crispy outer layer of the brownie, is there a version or different egg substitute that would work for brownies?

[@MaggiesMusings]

I've used aqua faba for brownies. If you whip it to a meringue with your sugar, it gives you the crispy top 😊

[@honeysweet7190]

You can try replacing eggs with greek yogurt in brownies, works like a charm!

[@channelldaniels594]

Id use a little corn starch,arrow root,tapioca, even agar agar depends on your taste bud.even juice off chick peas.good cooking.hv fun.

[@mashwilliams3352]

I know this is (seven months) late but I saw a video recently from a recipe developer that discovered it's actually the sucralose concentration in the sugar you use that is the key for a cracked top layer, not egg.

[@user-zh3ru2mn5l]

Mine was way more watery.. Isn't it supposed to be slimy? Do I let it cool first? Edit: I had to boil it 30 minutes, then I looked up other info saying strain it hot, so I did, and poured it into ice trays, then it set into slimy gel. I had just been worried mine would not be as thick or something.. Hence the panicked comment.

[@shubhaoak2165]

Could one make a vegan quiche using this method ?

[@MaggiesMusings]

No, unfortunately. This works best in baking.

[@shubhaoak2165]

Thank you.

[@alisacole9059]

What works better? A gelatin egg or a fox seed egg?

[@alisacole9059]

Correction: flax seed egg not fox seed egg

[@MaggiesMusings]

Gelatin isn't vegan/plant-based, so if that's important use flax 😊

[@lauratempestini5719]

Do you have a substitute for egg yolk?

[@MaggiesMusings]

Not specifically for yolk what are you wanting to make?

[@lauratempestini5719]

@@MaggiesMusings Something rich like a custard. Or to enrich a recipe.

[@susaville]

Can this be used to make pasta?

[@MaggiesMusings]

I've never tried it. I bet it would! Let me know if you try it and how it comes out!

[@susaville]

Ok, update: I did try it. I used the recipe for pasta from the "let them eat gluten free cake" channel. I've had success before with that one, using eggs. This time the dough was much more like playdough consistency, maybe I should have made it dryer. It was super delicate and hard to roll in my pasta machine, but I managed. I think my mistake was using tapioca starch to roll it out, because it made the water when boiling super thick and slimy so i couldn't see if they were done or not, and must have over cooked them. I did let them dry before cooking. They turned out too squishy like when you over cook ramen, but worse. I was disappointed in the final result. For the adventurous soul out there, maybe it's something worth trying again but don't make it too soft, use tapioca starch, or over cook them. Personally, I think I'd use something other than flax gel. Cheers.

WELL THIS WAS A GREAT BIG 20 MINUTE STIRRING FAIL IF I EVER SAW ONE!!! I'm TICKED right now! This turned into a gelatinized glop of no WAY this was going to be strained from the seeds!!! 20 minutes? Are you serious!!! Everybody keeps saying "Thank You". For what???

[@MaggiesMusings]

😂 maybe you should check your measurements? Or use your judgement and take it off the heat if it looks too thick? I mean, it's not rocket science. You're just boiling water! 😂 Did you use ground flax seeds?

[@chivone21]

@@MaggiesMusings No, I used golden whole flax, let it simmer for about 18 minutes then took it off. I went to strain it though a hand strainer and it plugged right up, and I only put a little at a time. It just wasn't going to go through. Then I make the collossal mistake of trying to use cheese cloth and it just made an even bigger hot mess.

[@MaggiesMusings]

Is your strainer fine-meshed? It will take a little time for the gel to strain through. You want it to be the consistency of egg whites. Cheese cloth is definitely too fine to strain the gel. It's never been too messy or frustrating for me. Sorry you had a tough time with it

No worries. Yes, it's very slimy. I strained it while it was hot. Hope it works well for you!
