CHOW.com - Whats a Vegan Substitute for Eggs?

http://www.chow.com/videos

Erin McKenna, founder of BabyCakes NYC, uses applesauce as a vegan alternative for eggs in her baking. The applesauce will bind your batter just as the eggs do—and your friends wont even know the difference. But the chickens might. Or the person you used to buy your eggs from.

Cool I'm gonna go make a hard boiled egg this way! Be right back guys...

@genocidal123 The point of being vegan is to not eat animal products; it really is as simple as that. Some use substitutes, some make up new vegan recipes; most do both. I'd put this in the second category though because it won't mimic the flavour of egg, just the chemical function it has in baking as a binding agent and to add moist to the cake.

@TOstevo This is referring to eggs used in baking, most obviously. Note how she talks about the egg as a binder?

[genocidal123]

Soo. Whats the point of being a vegan if your gonna use subsitutes. Might as well stay out of the whole egg thing?
