Episode 4: egg substitutes
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
When I first went plant based, finding substitutes for dairy wasn’t so hard as I didn’t grow up drinking milk or having butter. But finding egg substitutes was an problem! Since transitioning, I’ve used these three ingredients when baking or even in pancakes or waffles. Give it a try! You don’t have to ditch your old cake recipes. Or even if you’re not vegan but trying to find healthier alternatives to butter and eggs, just sub for margarine or oil and these egg substitutes!
