i started to look online for recipes with no egg then i came across this egg re-placer or substitute. i ordered it online and it is very easy to used. you can make almost everything that required eggs with this thing. soon after i found out that whole foods supermarket carries this. i used this to baked a cake, muffin, bread. but one thing NEVER tried to make scramble egg or any type of fried egg with this thing. i LEARNED that the hard way. but you should try it and i know you will like it. this becomes handy for baking. hope you will give it a try and let me know.
