25 Easy Gluten-Free and Egg-Free Desserts (Tried & Tested)
Finding delicious dessert recipes that are both gluten-free and egg-free can be a challenge. I am excited to share 25 mouthwatering dessert options that are free of gluten and eggs, so you can enjoy your favorite treats, even with dietary restrictions.
Why Bake Gluten-Free Without Eggs?
In gluten-free baking, eggs usually provide the structure and “glue” that keeps baked goods from crumbling. However, many of us skip them due to allergies or sensitivities. While a true egg allergy involves an immune response (ranging from hives to respiratory issues), an egg sensitivity generally causes digestive discomfort like cramping or nausea.
If you suspect either, it’s always best to consult a professional. Doctors typically use a skin prick test or a blood test to measure your body’s specific antibody levels and provide a clear diagnosis
Gluten free egg replacements
Eggs are found in many gluten free foods, including cakes, cookies, pastries, bread and rolls. And there are plenty of ways to make delicious gluten free egg-free desserts using egg replacers.
Here are 7 of my favorite gluten free egg replacements: (1 egg)
Flaxseed meal: This one is perfect for gluten free baking, as flaxseed meal is naturally gluten free and can be used as a binding agent. To replace one egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes before adding it to your batter or dough.
Psyllium husks: Use 1 tablespoon of psyllium husks (not powder) with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir for about 30 seconds and use immediately, or it will continue to thicken.
Chia seeds: Chia seed egg replacer is ideal when you need more binding. To make 1 egg, mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water and set aside for 10 minutes. It will become a gel-like mixture.
Baking powder: This is a great egg replacer for leavening cakes or muffins. 3 tablespoons carbonated water, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Applesauce: If you are looking to add moisture to a cake, muffin or quick bread recipe, add 1/4 cup of applesauce for each egg called in the recipe.
Yogurt or buttermilk: Use 1/4 cup of plain yogurt or buttermilk for each egg. This works best in muffins, pancakes and coffee cakes.
Gluten free egg replacer: An egg replacer is a powdered product used as a substitute for eggs in baking.
While egg replacers work in many gluten free dessert recipes, they don’t yield excellent results like real eggs. In addition, an egg replacer should be used to replace a maximum of 2 eggs in a recipe.
