The Plant Based Egg revolutionizes gluten free baking! Traditionally, xanthan and guar gums have been used in gluten free flour blends to replace the structure that gluten provides in wheat flour. Unfortunately, these gums tend to make your baked goods gummy! The Plant Based Egg replaces both eggs and gums in gluten free baking, so you get wonderful baked goods that have a perfect texture and appearance.
What if I’m gluten free, but not vegan? Many gluten free recipes over-rely on eggs to provide structure. This is why they often produce dry and crumbly results, and why most gluten free bread doughs look more like cake batter. Eggs are not necessary and you will get fantastic baked goods without them. Your cookies will not crumble, your muffins will look like you bought them from a bakery, and your loaves of bread will be tall, light, and fluffy! (We can’t wait for you try one of our bread recipes and work with a lovely dough that is firm enough to braid and shape!)
The Plant Based Egg needs to be incorporated into your flour blend so it can do the job that gluten does in wheat flour. The simplist way to do this is to use our all-purpose GF flour blend that already has The Plant Based Egg added in. It was developed to work perfectly with the optimal amounts of whole grains and starches to give you the very best results every time you bake! Alternatively, you can use The Plant Based Egg to make your own gluten free flour blend. Click the Gluten Free Flour Blends link below for the recipes. I recommend using the Two-Ingredient Gluten Free Flour Blend for the easiest and best DIY all-purpose GF flour. If you want to see more flour blend options, check out the 16 Gluten Free Flour Blends link. There are potato free, nut free, rice free, and grain free versions to suit nearly any dietary need.
Flour blends made with The Plant Based Egg are designed to work without gums or eggs. Therefore, they will not work in standard recipes that call for dairy and eggs without making some recipe modifications. This often means adjusting the amounts of flour, fat, and liquid, so we recommend using one of our recipes. They are thoroughly tested and perfected to give you fabulous baked goods. At least take a look at one of ours to get an idea of what adjustments might be needed. (You can email us anytime at info@freelyvegan.com if you have any questions about adapting your own recipes!) We also highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients. This eliminates errors in measuring and ensures consistently excellent results.
