neat - Plant-Based - Egg Mix (4.5 oz.) - Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Soy Free, Egg Substitute Mix

I do not make the egg separately before adding to the recipe - because then it doesn't mix as well. I add the powder directly to the recipe, and then increase the water or other liquid content. First step: I add all of the dry ingredients of a recipe together, I combine all of those and the powder of the neat egg as well. Second step: I combine the wet ingredients, I combine those together before adding to the dry ingredients - and simply increase the water or other liquid (i.e. nondairy milk) according to how many "eggs" it has requested in the recipe. In other words, if I need one egg, I increase the liquid content of the recipe by 2 tablespoons. Not only is this lots easier and quicker, it also makes the result in the recipe much better as well. - it allows the powder of the egg to more thoroughly mix with the other ingredients of the recipe - and that enhances the binding ability.

I'm not much of a baker, but I'm always eager to try out any new vegan egg, meat or cheese substitute I come across. I bought this hoping to use it as a stand-alone egg substitute for scrambled egg type dishes - I did read beforehand that it isn't intended/won't work for that purpose, but I was hopeful hat I could find a way by mixing it with the right ingredients. Those initial experiments failed, and the package sat in the cupboard for a few weeks. Then late one night when I had an attack of the munchies, I dipped a hamburger bun in olive oil, coated it with the Neat Egg and pan fried it, and eureka! I'd stumbled on to a winner. Had to have my new favorite snack every day after that and the package went fast. I'm about to order more, and I felt compelled to come back and leave a rave review. I'm sure it probably works well for everyday baking too, but I'm more interested in playing around with it and seeing what else it can do. Planning to try fried rice next!

Has a weird flavor; its very useful barbecue its a quick substitute. Though I find this to be too dense for baking fluffy items (like cupcakes or cake); ideal for scones.

Make sure you read the directions on the back. Don't dip into the bag with your measuring spoons but use a spoon and scoop into you measuring spoons. I sometimes have to add extra water to it. Today I had three scoops of the Neategg but I had to add 9 tablespoons of water instead of just 6. I use this mainly for baking things for my children. They are both allergic to eggs. Unfortunately it does have a bit of an after taste or you can tell there is something there that wouldn't have been there if you had just used eggs. Right after I bought this for $6 and some change on amazon I saw it at Walmart in the gluten free section for $3 and some change. I won't be buying it online anymore. I did use it in a meatloaf and it wasn't noticable, but I only use ld the equivalent for one egg. It's not terrible but noticable. When you, or your children, have so many food allergies though you learn to adapt to those odd tastes so you can enjoy those foods you haven't been able to have. I included a picture of some gluten free blueberry muffins I got at walmart. They are krusteaz brand. I used the Neategg in these. There is a slight after taste but not terrible.

I made a cake with it and was a bit nervous at first because the consistency is a little strange and it didn't mix in well with the cake mix. Maybe I did something wrong? But after the cake was done baking it tasted just like normal and held together very well. Much better than when I used applesauce as an egg replacer. All in all I'm very happy with this and will buy again.

I'm a fan of vegan foods and substitutes but this egg substitute is just embarrassing. I gagged when I first opened the package - it smells like dirt and the consistency is so weird and viscous. Despite the smell, I tried using it to make an almond cake and not even the almond extract or almond flour could mask it. It's inedible. From what I can tell, this isn't something that can replace egg in *any* recipe.

Neat egg is a very convenient egg replacement product that can be mixed up to prepare baked goods. It is easy to prepare (2T water and 1T mix equals one egg). It is made with chia seeds and garbanzo beans (healthy!) and has no sodium, which is great for those with hypertension. I love the convenience of being able to make baked goods even when eggs are in short supply.

I got this to try with an allergy free and gluten free cake mix. First thing I noticed was this was a greenish grey powder and when you add the 2 tbsp of water it smells like plant mash. I found it off putting and realized this was purely a baking ingredient only and that I may not finish it. Since I love making eggs to top my instant noodles and this won't be able to replace that. The cake turned out below expectations being moist and greasy with a more non-spiced spice cake flavor. The egg substitute scent filled my kitchen when baking and was quite off putting. Since I am not allergic to eggs I will definitely stick to eggs. But structurally speaking the Neat egg substitute did its job and would work for those with that dietary restriction or are vegan. It is worth trying if you can't have eggs, but there is not substituting the flavor eggs give and this offers a structural replacement in baked goods only as far as I can tell. So for my dietary needs and personal tastes, I did not like this egg replacement.
