    Hello.. I have searched the forum and blogs and have no found a clear answer for substituting eggs in the vanilla cupcake recipe. I cannot have dairy :((

    ok.. I read through some blogs and have found that a nut milk is recommended. So, if I use almond milk, how much milk do I use per egg???? Also, are there any other natural egg substitutes that I can use?

    I have used tofu to substitute for eggs in a couple of different recipes. Use 1/4th cup silken tofu for one egg. There are other egg substitues that I have not tried. Here is a website that has a list of them, http://www.vegcooking.com/vegcooking-eggreplace.asp. You might just have to experiment to see what works best.

    I don't have an egg allergy so I haven't tried this myself but I've read you can substitute mayonnaise for eggs, so why not vegenaise? It has both fat and protein like an egg. Depending on the recipe I read substituting anywhere from 1TBS to 3TBS per egg called for. I know most egg substitutes call for 1/4c to replace 1 egg and juliahstewart above substituted tofu in that amount. I've had mayonnaise cakes in my non-gluten-free past and they were moist and tasty. (No weird aftertaste.) I hadn't ever seen this substitute mentioned yet here in these forums so I thought I'd throw it in.

    I don't know that I would try plain nutmilk as an egg substitute, at least in that recipe. It would be too thin and wouldn't provide the right texture.

    I found some guidelines for several substitutes here: http://www.vegcooking.com/vegcooking-eggreplace.asp

    Good luck!
