Cooking & Baking

Even if you aren’t vegan, you can use these to replace eggs. I like the Ener-G brand but even ground flax seed works well—and aquafaba (the liquid from a can of garbanzos or other beans works *really* well for egg whites. Even the liquid from black beans whips up white. Might be a good thing to keep on hand for emergencies.

Here’s what 1 can of aquafaba looks like when you whip it—this is maybe 1/3 c of liquid. The only caveat is that any trace of oil will make it deflate, which doesn’t matter if you’re only using a couple tablespoons in a dish like this. (I learned the hard way that peppermint *oil* can ruin xmas meringues in a second, so always use *extracts* instead.)
