Hi everyone  Smile

My 5.5 year old little guy has an allergy to egg.  I read on the net you can use 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 2 or 3 tbsp. warm water as a substitute.  I do this with cookies and pancakes and they come out fine. Lately I've been making cakes and frostings from scratch and every cake I make comes out dense/heavy.  My son and I prefer a light and fluffy cake. Anyone have any ideas on what might work better as an egg substitute in baking?  Thank you!  Jeannie  Smile

Huma, thank you so much for you help.  I cannot wait to try my cake recipes again using your idea!  How much soda would you say you use in place of an egg?  1/4 cup?  A few tablespoons?
Thank you Huma  Smile

Hi.  My daugter is also allergic to eggs.  I have tried many of the substitutes and have not found anything that doe not alter the taste and texture of the dessert some except for Ener-G Egg Replacer.  I buy it at my local Whole Foods Market.  It works beautifully in all the recipes I have tried it in.  If you can get your hands on some, it is worth every penny!

many of my sons friends are strict vegan and will not eat eggs.  We looked on the web - and successfully made the MOST delicious cookies by substituting half a banana for each egg.  so three eggs was 1-1/2 bananas - ours were 'just ripe' not overly, and they suggested to add a bit of baking powder.  For the above I added 1/2 tsp.  We made mollasses (ginger) to die for, as well as a decadent espresso chocolate, and peanut butter.  All were the 'jumbo' deli type - 6 to a sheet and everyone (nonvegans as well) are still talking about them.   We have now successfully used this conversion for 'cornbread' as well.  With fat grams and cholesterol concerns, we decided we will use this frequently.

best,
maryb
