So...I am on a hunt for some really good vegan recipes for baked goods. More specifically, ones that don't call for a generic egg replacer like En-Er-G.

Brownies, cookies, cakes, pies, cheesecakes, etc.

mcdonald's and burgerking, also in n out, has an outstanding vegan menu for you to consume. i recommend just eating there, forever.

wait, so do you eat dairy products?? "vegan" is a term for people who dont eat any animal products at all, incl milk. otherwise, youre a lacto-vegetarian

anyway, i would assume you can eat dairy.

i had a friend who was like that , and i decided to bake her cookies. i found out in the process that for cookies (an things that are firmer than cakes, ) you can replace the eggs with milk, and it would still work. its the melting and crystalisation of sugar that holds the cookie together rather than eggs. Milk has a higher water content than eggs, so the flour tends to form gluten more readily, making the cookie chewier. as a result, with drop cookies (where a sphere of dough on a baking tray flattens itself during baking) needs to be flattened slightly first

the following is a variation of Ruth wakefields chocolate chip cookie recipe that i used for my lactovegetarian friend

makes about 35-40 cookies

-cream 125 butter
-add 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
-mix
-dash of vanilla
-add 60mL of milk a little at a time, mix until dissolved before adding more (mixing this in takes longer than eggs)
-sift in 1 and 1.8 cup plain flour and 1 spoon of baking powder, OR just 1 and 1/8 cup of Self raising flour
-mix until a dough forms
-throw in whatever you want, (choc chips, or peanuts or peanut butter)
-mix
-spoon about 20milimeter diameter spheres onto your baking tray. flatten them slightly (not too much )
-bake in a preheated oven for 12 minutes (180 on a conventional oven, 140 on a fan forced, degrees celsius, not farenheit)
-when you take them out, they will still be slightly soft and seem undercooked it should be the color of sand. THIS IS FINE. let it cool for 10 minutes or so and it will harden up
-twist the cookies off the tray

I'd eat fucking In n Out even if I was a vegan, just thinking of a double double makes me hungry.

You and bawls are ridiculous. I had hoped that after a four year hiatus from totse that the 'posting to be rude' mentatlity would have moderated itself. Alas, it has not. How unfortunate.

Mantikore, thanks for the recipe, but I'm looking for vegan recipes. Thus far, the only suitable egg replacer I've found is ground flaxseed mixed with water. (1:3 ratio flax-water).

I will however, gladly try your recipe out on my brother, as it sounds delicious. Thanks ^_^

if you want pure vegan, there are other finger deserts that may suit your fancy. a lot of them are of Asian origin, and are quite good, though they are not baked and are eaten cold.

for the Chinese and Japanese, the use of beans and agar (a plant-based gelatine substitute, slightly firmer than animal based gelatine) is quite common

i havent tried this myself, nor have i seen any thing like this done before, but you might have a slim chance of making marshmallows with agar, though the ratios will obviously be different.

strict vegan diets can be difficult to cater for, but you can substitute butter for vegetable oil,though things will be a bit firmer than if you use butter

After searching "vegan dessert" on google, a few sites caught my attention

theres some recipes which dont use En-Er-G.

know that most chocolate has dairy in it.

Sorry no recipes, I used to be vegan til i collapsed at work with vitamin deficiency. Oh btw for whoever asked, real vegans don't just not eat any animal product but they also won't wear wool and leather etc.

Ya think?

I lived off the bloody things but pills just can't replace the goodness of a steak in the long run. Vegans and vegetarians are just unnatural, its that simple. We're omnivores, fact.
