Effortless Eggless Baking: 100 Easy & Creative Recipes for Baking Without Eggs

Mimi Bakes blogger Council (The Mountain Baker: 100 High-Altitude Recipes for Every Occasion) shows bakers how to make scrumptious eggless creations in this winning recipe collection. The impressive array of eggless treats—apple spice muffins, chocolate pecan babka, and gingerbread bars are among the 100 offerings—were inspired by the eggless chocolate chip cookie recipe she developed during the Covid-19 quarantine when many people couldn’t get eggs and contacted Council for recipes with alternate ingredients. The key to eggless baking, according to Council, is to substitute eggs with ingredients that can replace the “fat, flavor, structure, moisture, and fluffiness” that eggs bring. For blueberry ginger coffee cake, that means a combination of yogurt and sour cream, while a peanut butter and jelly sheet cake calls for applesauce and milk. The recipes are straightforward and run the gamut from sweet to savory, with ham, cheese, and chive or cheddar jalapeño scones representing the latter. For bakers who have specific dietary needs or preferences, Council offers substitution suggestions (for example, using full-fat canned coconut cream in place of heavy whipping cream). This delicious compendium of eggless delights delivers. (Nov.)
