An egg is an egg is ... ground flax seed?

flax seedsIf you are allergic to eggs but love food, you've got a predicament. Baked goods, custards, quiches, all rely on eggs to make them delicious.

Got a hankerin' for a sweet chocolate treat? Veganmania has a list of egg substitutes that are good enough to eat.  When we made brownies using a banana and applesauce in place of eggs, even the non-alternative eating crowd in my wife's family went back for seconds and thirds. Who doesn't love a good brownie, even with no eggs?

We also tried pancakes with the suggestion of ground flax seeds simmered in water and they were actually wonderful. The addition of sunflower seeds, fresh blueberries and flavorful grade B maple syrup didn't hurt, either.

Next up? Maybe a tofu quiche ... ?

A few hours later I found out why the mixture was so dry, I forgot to put the eggs into the mix :P
