Brownies With Vegg Egg Substitute

 Baking in a vegan household is tough, especially when you can't use eggs. Yet there is a solution - an easy one Vegg Uncaged Baking Mix. This really is a godsend to bakers like myself that like using store bought mixes.

I've lately  had a craving for fresh from the oven brownies  and thought "It's time to make them". I bought my beloved Duncan Hines fudge brownie mix.

The mix requires two eggs for a thick cakey brownie. This is where Vegg comes in. It's mixing two teaspoons of the substitute in a cup of cold water. Half a teaspoon of sugar is added.

Then whipped into a yolk like liquid with a fork.

It was then added to the batter along with a third of a cup of water and a third of a cup of vegetable oil. The batter pretty well mixed up the same as it would have with two eggs. It was glossy, in the pan before baking.

The oven was set at 325 degrees Fareenheit because I used a darker surface pan and baked the brownies for forty minutes instead of the usual thirty. Vegg warns you that baking times will be longer when using the egg sub in. After forty minutes a tester came out clean.

This is just from the oven, perfectly baked and the cake pulling away from the sides of the pan.

As far as the taste,  they taste the same as the ones I've baked with eggs.(despite the addition of the extra sugar which is really only a teeny bit).

The crumb and mouth feel are a bit different. The crumb is denser. reminding me of a flourless cake. The mouth feel is that way too. Yet , the brownies are still delicious and I plan on trying the Vegg in other mixes as well as scratch recipes too.

The transition from regular to cruelty free baking is an easy one. Use Vegg Uncaged Baking Mix for any recipe that calls for eggs. It's perfect for any cake or cookie recipe and really not that much different form using actual hen eggs. Try it for your baked goodies and treats.
