Conversion Charts Galore!

So last night came and went with just one parent and two cranky toddlers, and the promised conversion charts disappeared amid several runs of Winnie the Pooh. So, tonight while the kiddos are having a camp out with Dad in the living room I am getting to add these in quiet :) I hope you will find them helpful!

To replace eggs (I rarely have to do this since no one here is allergic to eggs, but if you are here are some things you can use instead)

Applesauce  1/4c unsweetened=1egg

Baking Soda and Vinegar  (if you do this one add it last and place straight in oven!)
 1tsp baking soda+1tsp cider vinegar=1 egg

Banana 1/2 banana mashed=1egg

Egg replace Ener-G egg replacer is manufacturer in an allergen free facility and the instructions can be found on the package.

Flaxseed Meal  1 tbsp flax meal mixed with 3tbsp water=1egg

Prune Puree  5oz=1egg

Soy, Coconut, or Rice Yogurt  1/4c = 1egg


To replace dairy

Rice, Soy, Almond, Coconut or Hemp Milk...the options are rather endless. So read the ingredients well, find one that you like and just use it cup for cup in place of cow's milk

To make your own butter milk add 1 tbsp of lemon juice or cider vinegar to 1 cup of your nondairy milk and let sit for 5-10 min then use in your recipe.

There are rice, soy, and coconut yogurts that can be used measure for measure in recipes.

In place of butter you can use Canola oil, Olive Oil, Safflower Oil, or Sunflower Oil  1/3c oil =1/2c butter

Earths Best also makes a dairy, corn, wheat and soy free spread that comes in a red tub, we can even find it at Walmart!

Spectrum Shortening is allergen free and can be found through the internet or a natural grocery store.

The best replacement I have found for peanut butter is Trader Joes SunButter. It doesn't contain any soy and is just plain good! If you don't have any other nut allergies tho there are hazelnut, almond and cashew butter options out there as well.


If you can't have any gluten then there are many flours out there to try, but be aware that most of them can't be used alone, they need to be combined with other things.
Here they are : rice, corn, potato, tapioca, bean, garfava, sourghum, quinoa, millet, buckwehat, arrowroot, amaranth, teff, montina and flax flours.
 I haven't experimented to much yet and for just a general all purpose flour I mix 4c white rice flour with 1 1/2c potato starch anad 3/4c tapioca flour. And I don't pay for the rice flour in the stores! I just buy some plain (not quick cooking) white rice the throw it in the blender on grind and then in a coffee grinder and tada! Much more cost effective for the same thing!


I hope these are time and stress savers!
