What ingredient are used in baking Vegan foods?

I use almond milk for a creamier base or rice milk for not so thick. I use agave syrup which is also a sugar substitute. Butter use margarine. If you’re looking for recipes, look for Celiac friendly, or Gluten Free Dairy Free, trust me there’s alot. Here’s a site I use all the time

you can google vegan recipes for any particular item you’re thinking of, and see the various substitutes—- or try vegan cookbooks like How it all Vegan, Garden of Vegan, or Milk Free Kitchen (i think that’s what it’s called). most of my recipes use soymilk / rice milk / almond milk / oat milk / coconut milk / etc for creamy-ness, various oils (in place of butter or sometimes egg or for consistency), and other things to make it rise.

here are some examples:

egg substitutes:
banana (1/2)
soft tofu (1/4 cup)
applesauce (3 tbsp)
psyllium husk (1 tbsp + 2 tbsp water)
“flax egg” (3 tbsp)

“flax egg”:
blend 1/3 cup whole flax seeds to an even meal
slowly add 1 cup water
blend until like thick milkshake
optional: strain out seeds
store in sealed container in fridge 3–6 days

sugar substitutes: maple syrup, honey, date sugar, barley malt, fruit juice concentrate,
dried fruit

I use vegan sugar, margarine, soy milk, and egg-replacer-powder (which I think is agar?) when I make vegan recipes. Sometimes I’ll sub applesauce or banana.

Commercial egg replacers are available but personally not a favorite. Sometimes bananas are an appropriate replacement and flax/water mix has worked well for me, (gets gooey like cooked ochra). Soy,rice and nut milks/creams are available to replace standard dairy products and omega rich oils,(canola is a good one),or vegan margarine can usually replace butter or margarine which generally contains some form of animal product. If you have any difficulties finding what you’re looking for at your local grocer or they are unable to stock certain items then try shopping at a local “health-food” store like Wild Oats, or Whole Foods. Better yet, if you have access to a local food co-op try them out. Glad to see that you are interested in the subject. Maybe you are considering going vegan? Believe me- I wouldn’t be vegan myself if it meant missing out on baked goods altogether! All I do is just read those labels on the store-bought goodies or make them myself- creatively!

You can even be as simple as adding 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to 2 tablespoons of water and wisking them together to make an egg substitution.
