Baking without Eggs

Yes, eggs are on the safe list when you are allergic to Balsam of Peru. In fact, I tend to eat at least one omelet a week and I do like to add hard-boiled eggs to tuna or egg salad. However, my daughter has an egg allergy and I've been learning to bake without the use of eggs. So far, I've only tried quick breads/muffins with fair results. If the egg is intended to be used as a binder, then applesauce makes a great, moist substitute (less calories and no cholesterol, too!). However, don't try substituting applesauce for eggs AND oil in the same recipe. I tried it and ended up with flat little lumps. Tasty lumps, according to my one year-old, but lumps nonetheless.
