vegan baking... share your tips and tricks
i'm working really hard to be vegan... at this point, i would say that i'm about 85-90% vegan. i have the occasional piece of cheese and the even more occasional egg.
i already use chia seeds as an egg substitute in brownies and pancakes, but i don't love the consistency of the pancakes. they feel as if they were undercooked.
also, i've read about subbing butter with avocado in baking... specifically, cookies. i just haven't had a moment to try it. let's face it avocados don't last long enough in my house to me to use for baking.
what recipes have you tried and had success with??

I try to find vegan recipes so I don't have to mess around with subbing too much. Very occasionally, I will sub Earth Balnace for butter, but only if it's a real treat like a bday or something.
These are my favorite cookies
Dreena Burton's homestyle chocolate chip
I am also usually succesful with Chocolate Covered Katie recipes
CCK
Not sure if you want muffin recipes, but these 2 are excellent
HH Apple Crisp Muffins
HH Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins (I used the juice and zest of one lemon in place of the cinnamon and vanilla)
And this might be helpful too

I have bought egg substitute at WF. I have also used black beans in brownies and apple sauce in cakes. Post punk kitchen has some good baking recipes. I love the pumpkin brownies.

Re: vegan baking... share your tips and tricks
I'm vegetarian but I make lots of vegan recipes. I think your best bet is to follow the recipes on vegan blogs. They usually have a good sense of what substitutions work best.
Here are some good ones:

Re: vegan baking... share your tips and tricks
check out www.glutenfreegoddess.com she has a vegan section. I am sure you could use regular flour but at least you have recipes.

usually you can't swap that easily- but if you are making the committment to be vegan- gluten free should be a given
my doctor told me eating gluten while being vegan is like putting the brakes on when you are trying to go forward-

Interesting. Does he feel gluten is inflammatory?
