| Eggs and flour are important in home baking but you can manage without... |
A scarcity of eggs and common wheat flour are making life a little more difficult for home bakers but that doesn't meant treats are off the menu.
The Vegan cakes featured here are egg-free but still light, fluffy and sensational. Rich biscuits and crumbly fruity bars have no eggs at all (see below). And, of course, egg-free cream pie fillings can be dolloped into frozen or ready roll supermarket pastry or pre-baked tart shells. Try local bakeries if tart shells aren't in the shops.
If you're out of regular plain flour, Duchy Originals does fantastic self-raising brown flour which produces baked goods almost as light and fluffy as regular flour. Spelt flour* bakes into lovely bread but follow the recipes carefully.
Go slightly off piste with finely ground almonds for cakes and cookies; polenta makes unapologetically more-ish corn bread. Oatmeal, in its normal form or blitzed to a flour, can be a good substitute for flour in some rustic recipes. Gram flour (from chickpeas) makes fabulous wraps.
These 17 67goingon50 favourites are egg free, low-or-no flour or both. Some are budget-friendly; others easy-peasy. All are delicious. Enjoy!
