Replacing eggs
There are many ingredients that you can use to replace eggs when baking to make cakes or vegan cupcakes Melbourne. A few substitutes are grounded flax seeds, mashed banana with water, egg replacer, tofu, vinegar and baking soda.
Aquafaba
The most new substitute that replaces eggs is aquafaba. Aquafaba can be found in cans that contain chickpeas. It is the liquid portion of it. This will ensure that the baked items contain the perfect egg replacement but it will also remove waste that needs to be removed from your kitchen. Even if you taste the beans before baking, it will be long gone once it has been baked and you pull out the best cupcakes made!
The fats
Butter can be replaced by using margarine. There are many brands however, that have hydrogenated oils without damaging your health. Use margarine that does no have oil. You can use coconut oil instead or also use olive oil. However, the proportions of olive oil and butter are not the same; one fourth cup plus two tablespoons of olive oil is equal to one butter cup.
Honey
Honey is definitely out of the question. This has to be replaced from all food items that will be consumed by a vegan. You can use agave or maple syrup instead.
Non-dairy milk
Many of the non-dairy milks that are available nowadays are flavoured or sweetened. However, you need to use only unsweetened milk only. You can also use soymilk, which is the milk with the closest consistency to normal cow’s milk more than almond milk. Coconut milk is too thick and might change the textures.
You need to make sure that you use different utensils, spoons and machines when cooking and baking vegan food items. Vegans are very strong about not eating animal products or by products.
Bake carefully and well!
