Does anyone have any recipes for healthy baked treats that you love? I have an allergy to eggs so please don't send me something I cannot make! :-D I love to bake and I have plenty of eggless recipes full of calories, but thought I'd see if anyone has favorites that are healthy or at least healthier!

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day! ;-)

    •2 tbsp agave nectar
    •6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa

    Instructions:

    What about using egg replacer in regular recipies? That's what I do sometimes. Doesn't affect the taste of my banana bread muffins:wink:

    I don't have specific receipe to suggest but I searched on eggs replacement today :happy:

    It seems you can replace eggs by tofu, ground flaxesseds or other combinations of ingredients depending on what you're baking.

    I have to eat gluten-free and have noticed some boxes of cake, brownies, etc. near the gluten-free section of the grocery store that are "egg free"... not sure if your local store has them too, but might be worth looking into! :flowerforyou:

    They actually have egg replacer at the stores too. There are different brands, and you mix a tablespoon in some water then add it to your recipe in place of eggs. I know our grocer carries Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer, but I bought a different brand at the food co-op.

    Wacky Cocoa Cake

    Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup white sugar
    .25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon cider vinegar
    .75 cup vegetable oil
    1 cup water

    Directions
    1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    2.Sift flour, sugar, salt, soda, and cocoa together into an 8x8 inch ungreased cake pan. Make three depressions. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into second, and vanilla into third well. Pour water over all, and stir well with fork. (ok, I do mine in the stand mixer-- mix all dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and blend, no need to make depressions).
    3.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Frost with your favorite icing (also delish without frosting, it's so moist).

    For a generous 3" square (single layer)

    check out some of the recipies on this blog

    its all vegan, so that means no eggs, and its also very health concious with both low fat/calories kept in mind but also alternatives both on the healthier and more decadent side offered for most stuff.

    Almost all egg replacers have some egg in them and they will cause an allergic reaction. I wish I could use them though!
  • Thanks for the help everyone! I have tried applesauce and other replacements in many of my recipes but they haven't come out right so far. I just moved to Maryland from Colorado and I think some of the problem was the high altitude so I may have to try again. :-)

    I MUST try the brownie recipe. I love brownies. I had an eggless recipe which tasted good but I would have to cheat every time I ate them. :-) Thank you so much for it!

    The egg replacer I got from the co-op doesn't have any egg in it. Quoting from the box, "Ener-G Egg Replacer contains NO EGGS or EGG DERIVATiVES. It is not nutritionally the same as eggs."

    The ingredient list-- Potato starch, tapioca flour, leavening (calcium lactate, calcium carbonate, citric acid), sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose. Calcium lactate is not dairy derived. It does not contain lactose.

    The woman who checked me out also said the next time I needed some to check with her, because she's got other suggestions as well. I love the co-op, everyone there is so friendly and helpful.
