Hello!

My daughter has an allergy to egg and has just started expressing an interest in baking. Before now she wouldn’t touch food that had egg in it as it made her sick. I suggested I could replace the egg with an egg replacement but she was never keen until now. Has anyone used an egg replacement that works? There are a few online but not sure which one is good. Would love to hear from other mums who use or have tried an egg replacement powder.

  • One of my grandson’s is allergic to Egg. I ave used powdered egg replacement from Woolies & Coles with no issues. Simple.


  • I can’t remember the brand, but I definitely used one from the supermarket and it worked okay.


  • Cost of a block of butter has also risen… I remember the days when it was way cheaper.


  • I’d find egg free recipes. I have a choc chip Bic one. 1/3 cup brown sugar, 180gms butter. Beat til light and creamy. Add 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and beat to incorporate. Add 1 1/2 cups self raising flour and beat. Stir through choc chips. Place tblsp fulls on a greased tray. Bake at 180 for 12- 15 mins. Delicious


  • Another option is to look up some vegan baking recipe’s as they will definitely be without eggs


  • psyllium husks can replace eggs too (just like flax meal and chia seed)


  • The local library or book shop should have books on this topic; always worth some research time in both places.


  • - Banana’s are always on hand and when mushed down use the same hold together technique as egg in the bake – word of warning -they do not replace egg white (as in sponge cake or pavlova) and I think you might have to temper the sweetness if using for savory baking -but banana is a quick fix if you run out of eggs at home at home .


  • Besides egg replacers out of pot/bag there are other options to substitute an egg
    -Vinegar & baking soda. Replace 1 egg with: 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon vinegar.
    -Unsweetened applesauce. Replace 1 egg with: 1/4 cup applesauce.
    -Plain or vanilla soy yogurt. Replace 1 egg with: 1/4 cup yogurt.
    -Silken tofu.
    -Ripe banana.
    -Ground flaxseed
    -Chia seed


  • Maybe invest in some good egg free cook books.


  • Banana works great!


  • I’ve used applesauce in cakes and brownies. 1/4 cup to one egg. I added a 1/4-1/2tsp of baking powder for the cake to add some fluffiness, but the brownies were great without it. I’ve tried aquafaba and am keen to use it again, as it seems like a waste to tip it down the sink. I used that in a cocktail and it was perfect so I would definitely consider that.
