My three year old is allergic to milk, eggs, sesame, peanuts and almonds. Generally when I bake, I bake regular, and give him s/t instead. Now I'm baking for his upsheren, and I really want him to be able to have all the special things I make for the occasion. I made an egg-free chocolate cake for his b-day party today, and an egg-free honey cake for cheder tomorrow. Now I need some ideas for cakes or cookies I can make for Thursday, the day of his actual upsheren, with none of the above foods. Any ideas?

Can you use egg substitute? If so, almost any cookie can be made pareve by using margarine instead of butter...I never bake dairy.

I've used ground flaxseed instead of eggs, but only in recipes with only one egg, never tried a/t with more.

I make oatmeal cookies for dd with applesauce instead of eggs. Each egg=1/4 c applesauce. They're a bit more chewy than regular but pretty good.

Can you please share the recipe for egg-free chocolate cake? Thanks!

There is a powdered egg substitute (made predominantly for those who are vegan) that works great. I've used it in cookies and challah and several other baked goods and no one has ever been able to tell the difference. Here is a link that shows the product - http://www.ener-g.com/egg-replacer.html

I have found it in a lot of different grocery stores.

Cc cookie, there are variations on crazy cake to make it into a white cake. Have you ever tried that? You can make another cake with it, or do cupcakes.

I do this cake very often without egg and I use rice milk because I want it parve and my son has a soy allergy as one of his many allergies and my nephew an egg allergy and everyone has always enjoyed it

There was a cookbook put out by a frum support group for allergies to eggs and nuts, I have some recipes scanned in as PDF's is there a way to attach them, or I can e-mail them to you.

this is great for sugar cookies, it doesn't work for hamentashen. Use 1/2 the baking poder it calls for, otherwise it loses the shape.

this works great with parave cheesecake!

I make any cookie or cake and use 1T of flax seed + 3 T of water for each egg... and let it sit for 1/2 hour before I bake.

My choc. chip cookie recipe is really good and no one, can tell that I substitute the eggs. (actually, no one can tell in any of my cookie recipes)

Thanks, Mabellevie! I made it yesterday and my dd loved it. I have a really hard time getting her to eat so even if she eats cake I'm happy.

small bean, how do you use flax seed as an egg substitute?

Here's a couple of ideas

Banana bread
3 bananas, mashed
1 cup Splenda sugar substitute (I used regular sugar)
1/2 cup natural applesauce
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a mixer, mash bananas, add Splenda and mix.
3. Mix in rest of indgredients.
4. Pour ingredients into a bread pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
5. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes; cake tester should come out clean when done.
6. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

1 pan chocolate cake
(as frosting I put chocolate chips as soon as you take it out and it will melt and spread it )
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In an ungreased 9 x 13 pan- yes UNgreased, sift all dry ingredients.
3. Add the liquids and stir just until blended.
4. Bake for 25 minutes.
5. Frost with your favorite frosting, cake is extremely moist so care must be taken that you don't tear up the top of the cake.

FROZEN OREO PIE - You can do the frozen oreo pie and put it in individual graham cracker crusts

Razzle Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars Recipe
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup self-rising flour = 1 c flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt

2. Combine all ingredients except for the preserves.
3. Press most- but not all of the oat mixture into the pan.
4. Spread the preserves almost to the edge of the oat mixture.
5. Sprinkle the remainder of the oat mixture on top of the preserves.
6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
