FYI i keep calling it “the dollar store” but this video is only abt the 99cent store i just have a habit of calling this and Dollar Tree both “the dollar store” oops

[@kiwikels]

I get the jiffy vegetarian corn bread mix and on the side it has a recipe for how to make it vegan using unflavored applesauce. It honestly makes the corn bread so much more moist and delicious and I would highly recommend using applesauce for an egg replacement.

[@Dawn-zo2ny]

i wonder how a banana would be in there...🍒

[@brittanydaniels1102]

@@Dawn-zo2nyBanana would not work well in any cornbread recipe especially vegan cornbread.

Omg that Fix and Fogg peanut butter is $8.99 at my local healthfood store 😭 I only get it on sale and even then its like $6 lol. Glad you got a good deal on it (and other things)!

[@raedaze]

The brownie issue used to happen to me too. You have to use way less oil. Especially if using a watery type of egg. Applesauce seems so be the best way to sub for egg. 1/4 applesauce for every one egg. Regular milk has casein which helps with binding. So for plant milks you should use less bc of more water content. I found that out when substituting almond milk in pudding mix. Search it up and you should find how much to use. I think it’s like half of what the mix recommends

[@lizpimentel2566]

A trick I did once was to add peanut butter instead of oil and I used a flax egg, to this day its still the best vegan brownie I had. The only downside is you have to enjoy peanut butter lol

[@samantha_46867]

soy milk has almost as much protein as cow milk so it would be the best replacement

[@fuzziebunnie83]

I’m just mad that the dollar store and the 99 cent store are now more than that.

[@emlyewng]

it's annoying but i think the only way they would ever keep everything 99cents is by packaging everything in smaller and smaller portions and I don't want that either so idk lol

[@sarahbakesy]

The fix and fogg peanut butter is a fancy new Zealand brand! It's available in supermarkets over here in Australia for AUD $9! You got a deal!! 🎉🎉

[@h0tstuff20081]

Pacific Oat Milk is top tier, imo! It’s soo good and has a great oaty flavor

[@thelullinthestorm]

I think aquafaba makes a better egg replacement when you whip it a bit first so it’s foamy, that might be part of why it didn’t rise 🤔

[@Thtkoi]

Unsweetened apple sauce is the best for mixes !! Can’t taste it at all :)

[@julieyoung3815]

I definitely want to check out my .99 cent store . I had no idea about all the awesome vegan food . Thank you so much for this video. 😊

I just love your vids. I’ve been watching you for over 5 years! Can’t wait to see that fall content coming 🍂

[@bumlegbooks5009]

I’ve used that same cornbread recipe and used a flax egg and used a muffin pan instead and it was perfect.

[@lizlorenzsonn9999]

I love adding curry powder to things! Specifically in lentil soups, but now I’ll try it in ramen too ❤

[@alexj4239]

Did the cornbread really call for 2 cups of milk? I would have expected only about a half cup. In general, I would recommend looking up a video of someone making what you’re trying to make to look at what the batter texture should look like. Then, add your ingredients slowly and in increments checking for texture as you mix; remembering that you can always add more, whereas it’s much harder to take stuff out lol!

[@AnnieLovesKillljoys]

I bought the Pacific chili from Grocery Outlet and its just been sitting in my pantry so I'm glad to know its good 😂

[@alainadacosta1222]

The fried mushrooms look really good! I love when something is so good that a little happy dance comes out. I've had lotus foods brown rice ramen from Costco, it's cool see to they have ramen cups. Also, was really cute to see your parent's dog again. I moved home a few months ago from another city and it's been so nice being reunited with our dog (she's 13 now)

Ahhh Fix and Fogg!!! They're a NZ brand. The choc and the jam flavoured ones are sooooo good.

[@keelyhutchinson4441]

Hi Emily! I like to use cornstarch, a little extra liquid, and baking powder to replace eggs, like 1.5 tbsp corn starch (sometimes more), 1.5 tbsp soy milk and 1 tsp baking power = 1 egg. it works especially well for me in cake mixes, and I bet it would work in cornbread

[@M0chalatta]

99 Cents store seems awesome I wish we had one here! I really like that walnut mushroom meat, but I've only ever used it for tacos.

[@eliskatitzova2851]

Girl so I recently started posting comments more after being a passive viewer on yt for like all my life before lol I noticed what do I wait for with your vids! You are the beverage queen for sure. I remember how you one time made this matcha nice cream float - sooo creative. Wanted to try it ever since, still waiting for my chance lol. I literally had like 2 tea spoons of my strawberry jam left so trying to make the strawberry green tea know. I believe in you so it'll be good for sure. Have a nice day!!!

[@lildances]

Hi! We’ve used peanut butter + flax egg to make chewy non oily brownies

[@theeyesiramirez]

I live in the high desert and my local 99 cents store has a great variety of seeds, nuts and vegan options. Chia seeds, oat milk, tofu, good salad veggies and fruits. Coconut waters and even protein milks.

[@riverofperil]

For brownies I use vegan sour cream or apple sauce/half bobs red mill egg replacement for the eggs and then use an extra 1/2 tsp baking powder if I’m following a cakey brownie recipe.

[@thesweetestpotat0]

I feel like substituting all the ingredients you're supposed to add to brownie mix with a can of pureed black beans is a pretty reliable solution. Doesn't add any beaniness, thank goodness.

[@EllaCarlson-zb9lj]

so instead of egg or instead of oil and milk too?

With your leftover hot dog or hamburger bread cut into cubes and make french toast with it or bread pudding so none goes to waste! Also you can always oven toast it and blend after and make bread crumbs with it.

OMG FIX AND FOGG! im from nz and it is very popular here, i think they make it here! love it

[@cherylfox9992]

I think it was a brownie box mix that you use i can of pumpkin puree and 1 box mix and mix together with electric mixer then pour into pan and bake according to package directions. I dont eat brownies but my kids and hub do and nobody asked what i did different. They were dense i think but super easy and no eggs.

[@quinnablair4045]

I love your comments, you're so funny! 😂

[@pixiegirlholls444]

i always use apple sauce or a flax egg and that seems to work perfectly well! trial and error

[@ollie6563]

try adding 1 tbsp of cornstarch to your egg replacement, whether it's applesauce or silken tofu or aquafaba or whatever it should help it stabilize :)

[@NatoshawithanO84]

I’ve paid $8 a jar for that pb! 😡 I’m moving back to California next month, time to start heading back to the 99c store!

[@exohJackayyy]

wow honestly had no idea the dollar store had anything like that... i gotta check mine out!

[@ntrepidly]

I would recommend getting rid of your air fryer and getting a toaster oven with an air fry function to replace it. We have a breville brand one. You can also use it in place of the oven for when you don't have as much and don't want to heat up a giant oven

[@Thatveganlifestyle]

I buy my legumes dried in bulk. I spend about €60 every time and they last me about 10 months or so. So if you are vegan and you are saving, it's more affordable this way. Plus it makes you eat more legumes.

I definitely feel you on the frying part. I'd like to make more oil-fried stuff at home (like corndogs, never had those, rip my north european vegan heart) but I hate, hate, hate the mess it makes, only to eat the few pieces I can manage (I'm not too into that greasy food either).

[@lissah68hall92]

I agree with a lot of the produce section (but the lemons and limes are good) but I stock up on juices canned stuff and non food stuf they| have absorbent kitchen towels and socks and I buy their dove soap bars but I have to say their flour tortilla chips are better than most regular stores! !!

[@Liz-zf5xd]

the fix & fog brand is from New Zealand!!

[@heidiyf]

I think if you want to use aquafaba, you need to concentrate it. But I've had luck using Bob Red's Mill egg replacer in cornbread. I do muffins to lessen the risk of them falling apart.

[@eeeenaj]

Reducing aquafaba is 100% worth the time, and so easy if you're cooking other things.

If you’re using chickpea water for eggs you have to whip it like egg whites. Otherwise it’s just like, water hence why it was thin

[@AthynVixen]

the reason they have the Violife plant butter is probably because its so expensive in the regular stores that they can;t sell the stock?

[@Melimm69]

So for brownie mix that always happens where they get all icky when you use an egg replacement. I add peanut butter to it and for some reason that helps? I think it needs the extra fat content or something to help bind it?

[@whatsupitsImari]

The 99 cents store is always my first stop for grocery shopping tbh. They rarely tax extra on things, so I’ll always leave with a ton of melons and veggies. Looks like yours sucks a lil 😅. Try going back on one of their delivery days

[@jennybushnell9995]

Re your corn bread it may have been flat cause the pan was too big not your fault ; )

I understand not wanting more appliances but I am obsessed with my Breville toaster oven! Some have air fry settings (mine does not). But I rarely turn in my normal oven now since this bakes so well. More energy efficient and fast pre-heats!

[@niabiabee]

When you bake have you used applesauce as a substitute for egg? You can’t really taste the applesauce at the end. If all your baked goods come out wrong it might be your oven and/or maybe try mixing your ingredients more or less. That’s the only thing I can think of.

as someone from the uk, these prices are insane to me. i know american groceries are a lot more expensive than over here, but the fact this is meant to be a cheap shop, yet the prices are significantly higher than almost all supermarkets here is crazy
