Hi everyone, it's Jane posting today. I'm so excited. I finally found the Ener-G Egg Replacer that most people seem to recommend as the "best" option for replacing eggs in vegan baking.
I've looked high and low to find this product. First I tried all my local grocery stores. Of course, they carry a very limited selection of vegan products, and this isn't one of them. Then I went to my two local Whole Foods stores. I couldn't find it in the baking section there, and I spent quite a while wandering up and down that aisle. I asked for help and was told it would be found in the baking section, but the clerk who was assisting me couldn't find it either, so I gave up. After that I went to my local health food store; they carry it either, but suggested a ground flax seed and water concoction, which a number of you have also suggested, so I bought the flax seed. But today, back at Whole Foods, I happened upon a very helpful staff-person who informed me that the Ener-G Egg Replacer is not in the baking section after all, but stored in the "Gluten Free" area of the store. Who knew?
And now that I have it, I 'll be off and baking something soon. Lane will be very excited.

Funny, I had the same experience at one of my local Whole Foods when looking for the same product (the not being able to find, not the helpful staff person). I ended up finding it at a smaller place (Sprouts, not sure if you have them there).
I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog, and it’s been an inspiration to me in my own conversion to veganism!
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the kind words. We’re very happy to be an inspiration to you!
BTW, we were poking around on your blog. Jane is a knitter as well. She’s working on my Christmas present — socks! (Do you think wool is ok for vegans to knit with? We haven’t spent any time thinking about how it’s harvested…)
