What to do without eggs

One of the most important things I have learned living off our food storage is what to do without eggs. What is an egg substitute you might ask? There are two egg substitutes I like to use in baking, flax seed or non-flavored gelatin. These are also excellent egg substitutes if you have an egg allergy.

For the flax seed egg substitute, you just blend up several tablespoons of flax seed with one cup of hot water. Then you add one tablespoon of the flax mixture per egg you are replacing. I like to be very generous with this mixture, so I add more. Put the extra in a jar and put it in your refrigerator.

The flax egg substitute will look something like this.

You can also use non-flavored gelatin as a substitute for egg. Use 1 tablespoon of the dry gelatin for each equivalent egg you need. This is a wonderful replacement because you don't need a blender and can do it when your power is out. You can buy the Knox unflavored gelatin in the Jello and pudding section of your grocery store. If you have successfully used something else, leave a comment and share what you have tried.

Both of these egg substitutes really work! You can use them in cookies, cakes, brownies, pancakes, and anything else you are baking.
