Substitutes?

When you are baking, is there something specific you use to substitute for eggs and milk?

Re: Substitutes?

  • I will only substitute if it calls for one egg.  2 eggs can be a hit or miss and 3 almost never works out.

    I use the ener-g egg replacer for pancakes or cakes.  But most of the time i try to find a recipe that does not call for eggs at all.

    There are ways to do apple sauce as a substitute but i haven't been so successful with that and the ener-g egg replacer works pretty good for me.

    For a milk substitute, you can use soy.. We use either almond milk or oats milk b/c it's thicker than rice milk (we're soy free).  

    Also, if you are egg and milk free.. just google vegan cake recipe.  You should get some really good ones since it's pretty common to make a vegan cake and they avoid cows milk and eggs.

  • I use the Ener-g egg replacer in baking a lot too.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I made a Lemon Chiffon cake once and it turned out pretty good, but tried it in 3 different recipies another day and none of them were even edible. 

    For milk, a lot of times I will just use water.  I feel that sometimes the soy milk adds a flavor that's not always welcome.

  • I use the ener-g replacer when baking.  If the recipe calls for 2 eggs- I'll usually use ener-g for one and then applesauce/fruit puree+ baking powder for the other.  Anything with more eggs than that won't work. 

    For milk- rice milk usually works fine.  It's about the same consistency as skim milk and as long as you buy the plain kind it won't change the flavor.

  • I use Flaxseed (mixed with water) for an egg replacement.
