Vegan ingredients in "regular" Recipes

[likeiloveyou]

Does anybody know the measuring equivents of vegan ingredients?

like would you measure the same amount of soy milk into a recipe as you would dairy milk?

and how many table spoons of applesauce would replace an egg?

**i had to add dome things**

does anybody know a good replacer for heavy cream?

or honey?

all of these are for vegan baking.

i never cook with applesauce but i do know that you just use the same amount of soy milk as you do dairy milk. that is, measurements are equal.

In the recipe index and community faq there are several sections of posts on substitutions for vegan baking, including: Substitutions for fat, for milk, for eggs, for cheese, and for meat. There are plenty of comments added to the posts, discussing people's experiences and questions.

Oh, there are posts on substitutes for heavy cream, sour cream, condensed milk, and honey too.

Agave nectar, maple syrup and rice syrup can all be used in place of honey.

corn syrup and maple syrup are fine instead of honey. you're kinda beat for heavy cream.. depends on the recipe, but you can often use the smooth, fluffy tofu for desserts. and for eggs, honestly, they don't even need to be replaced. you can use NRG egg replacer, but it's expensive and i just leave eggs out and never have a problem.

egg replacer is much cheaper then real eggs. but then if you don't need it why use it.

[cailin_t]

i don't know.. NRG is like $15 a box, lol. but yeah, i've honestly never had a recipe turn out bad because i omitted the egg.

Oh wow! I buy ENER-G and it's like $3-4 a box and it lasts months and months. In fact I just ran out and I bought it almost a year ago.

You can substitute cashew cream for heavy cream in some recipes. This is from The Artful Vegan:

- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup water
Place cashews in a blender and pour water until it just covers the nuts. Blend until it is coarsely grated. Add the rest of the water. Blend until smooth. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.

:) Good luck!

Another substitute for heavy cream is Silk creamer, useful for those days when you are too lazy to make your own. :)

Yep! That's what I usually use!
