    • Gelatin Egg | AIP Egg Alternative

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • This recipe is simple and only has two ingredients.
    • This is a great alternative for those with an egg sensitivity or allergy as well as those following the autoimmune (AIP) protocol.
    • This is great to keep in your recipe box for any cooking or baking as an alternative for when you have guests that have dietary restrictions.

    Ingredients

    aip gelatin egg ingredients on a tray in small
    • Gelatin-This is my go to brand of use for gelatin eggs. I have not tested out any other kind of brands with this recipe and in any of my baked goods. 
    • Water-I like to be sure I use purified water.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions and Variations

    You can use this recipe as an egg substitution in both cooking and baking recipes.

    The different recipes you would use this gelatin egg in would allow for it to take on different flavors.

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you try something else out please let me know how it turns out in the comments below!

    Step By Step Instructions

    First, you will warm up the water in the microwave or stovetop so it becomes warm to the touch. Add the gelatin to a bowl, and slowly add in the water. Start whisking right away with either a fork or a mini whisk until the collagen is dissolved. Let the egg sit for 2 minutes allowing it to set prior to using.

    Equipment

    • Glass bowls
    • Mini whisk

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: In my experience I have only been able to use 4 gelatin eggs max in a baking recipe or it gets too clumpy.
    • Tip # 2: Egg free baking is different from regular baking. Oftentimes the egg replacement is paired with another wet or binding ingredient like tapioca and/or applesauce.
    • Tip # 3: If you are planning to use this alternative for an event that you are hosting, I recommend trying out the recipes in advance to see how the gelatin effects the recipe so you can adjust the recipe as needed ahead of time.

    Recipe FAQ

    What Brand of Gelatin Do You Use?

    I always use Great Lakes! See the picture above.

    What is Gelatin?

    Gelatin is made from ground up animal tissues – the bones, tendons, and ligaments. Gelatin is one of those ingredients that is highly recommended on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol.

    Can I Use This Egg As An 1:1 Egg Replacement?

    The short answer is no. Yes, this egg replacement does work like an egg in recipes but it does not always work out to be 1:1.

    Storage Instructions

    • This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days in an air tight container.

      In the instructions you mention gelatin, then you say collagen. Which is it? I’m not sure if you used gelatin or collagen.
