Vegetarians - How do you bake bread (and muffins, cookies...)?

Question

without eggs?

I made a cake (from a box) with the Ener-G instead of the egg, and it didn't turn out so well. I want to bake some bread (yes, I believe I may have lost my mind) and am not sure what to substitute.

Please help!

Answer 1

Some vegetarians do eat eggs, I assume you must mean Vegans; they wont eat eggs, or use any dairy products.

Well, Soy eggs have similar structure as does Soy milk; so it wouldn't make much difference.

Answer 2

Banana Muffins egg-free dairy-free

3 ripe bananas

1/4 c. oil or melted oleo

1 c. sugar

1 tsp. soda

1 c. chopped walnuts or 1 c. raisins, if desired

1 tsp. salt

2 c of "NOT GROWN". flour

Mash bananas (overripe make the best bread). Add oil and sugar. Mix well. Sift flour, salt and soda together and add to banana mixture. Mix until flour is blended (do not beat).

Put into muffin pans or bread tin and bake at 360 degrees until toothpick comes out clean.

Optional: Add a handful of oatmeal and some raisins or chocolate chips or currants or some coconut or all of them.

Answer 3

My daughter in law bought the book - I think it is called Skinny b*****s or something like that - they have all these great recipes in there - I made vegan pancakes and they were delicious.

Answer 4

when I make a cake from the box I just use a can of soda (like coke or diet coke with chocolate cake mixes or seven-up, sprite or orange soda for white cake mixes).  They always turn out delicious.  

Otherwise, I think banana is a better egg replacer in dessert foods, but it definitely changes the flavor.

Oh, and for bread, here are some recipes:

(turbinado is a sugar replacer)

Answer 6

Most regular bread recipes contain no eggs.  Just water, flour, yeast, and salt.

For baked good (cakes, cookies) I don't know.  There is usually never a true substitute for the real thing.

Answer 7

You can actually use vinegar! There are special recipes for such cakes.

Look up depression cakes, those were made without eggs and butter during the depression here in the USA.

Answer 8

No eggs are required to make bread and most commercial bread has no eggs in it.  Find an eggless bread recipe and make that.

There are loads of cake, cookie, pie, bread, muffin, scone and other recipes that are built vegan from the ground up so that no egg substitutions are needed.  Ener-G works really well for some recipes (crispy cookies, for one) and not so well for others.  But there are other things that can substitute for an egg when different textures are desired.  Ground flax seeds mixed with water make an excellent "egg" in all but the most delicately flavored recipes, silken tofu whizzed smooth in the blender works well for denser recipes like brownies, mashed bananas and soy yogurt also work.
