Vegan Baked egg instead of banana and flax seed in the pastry
Good hosts, of course, want to avoid faux pas when vegans come over for dinner. That then no meat or fish lands on the table, is clear. What about food that contains "normally" egg? No problem, experts know: There are several tasty alternatives.
When vegans come to dinner
Vegan diet is trendy. With more and more people in Germany, animal ingredients are taboo on the menu. For those who do not feed themselves exclusively without animal products, sometimes it's not so easy to prepare delicious food when vegans have announced their meal. That then no fish, meat or cheese dishes are served, is clear. But what about the sweets? Experts from the Vegetarian Federation Germany (Vebu) know: Vegan baking is also possible without an egg.
For vegan baking, for example, eggs are replaced with ground flax seeds or fruit. (Image: RAM / fotolia.com) Baking without egg
If you want to bake without egg, you can alternatively mix several other foods in the dough. According to Vebu, flaxseed goes well with whole-wheat pastries. Simply mix two tablespoons of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water, replacing one egg. To bake cakes offer bananas. A fruit replaces two eggs. Crush the banana and stir in the dough. The aroma becomes sweeter and more intense the riper the fruit. So who does not like the distinctive taste, should rather take less intense tasting fruit.
Different alternatives
Another alternative is applesauce: Three spoons of it replace an egg. It is very suitable for muffins and moist doughs. The apple flavor is largely lost during baking. Starch and soy flour can also serve as an egg substitute. It comes with water mixed in cake or pastry. A tablespoon of flour replaces an egg. However, especially soy flour tastes clearly. In addition, egg substitute powder is available commercially, consisting mainly of corn starch and lupine flour. As a rule, the packaging indicates how it should be used. (Ad)
