The author reflects on their upbringing in a walnut orchard where fresh eggs were a staple. Highlighting the rise in egg prices projected to increase significantly due to avian flu, they delve into experimenting with a widely available egg substitute. Their trials with Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer yield positive results in baked goods such as muffins and cupcakes, incorporating unique flavors like fresh ginger and dried apricots, which even elevates the traditional recipes they used.
Egg prices are projected to increase by 41.1% in 2025, largely due to the ongoing avian flu outbreak impacting egg-laying chicken populations.
I started my experiment with muffins and cupcakes, then ventured into pancakes. I'm happy to report that for the most part, I was successful.
Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer has been the focus of my trials. There are other approaches to egg substitutes, but this approach uses a product that is widely available and easy to use.
Fresh ginger and chopped dried apricots, plus a scattering of thinly sliced almonds add pizzazz to these muffins.
