Hi!
Welcome to my Eggless recipe blog!
I have a severe egg allergy and really struggle to find recipes that contain no eggs especially cakes and desserts, so I’ve decided to develop some egg recipes into egg-free recipes so that I can enjoy the food that everyone else does. I’ve tried to focus my recipes on ones that are famous for containing eggs such as cakes, pancakes and food with egg based coatings.
I’ve had my allergy since I was 14, I had Salmonella food poisoning (from egg) and I had my TB jab (which is a medicine grown on egg) in the same week and since then I have developed an egg allergy and I’m now anaphylactic to egg.
It was difficult to deal with at first, especially after my first anaphylactic shock (which was the worst feeling in the world), but I have learnt to accept it and frequently visit the allergy clinic for tests.
I hope that my blog will help others who don’t/can’t eat egg to eat the foods that they love again! x
Hi, I developed an allergy to eggs after my daughter was born. At first I could still eat eggs in cakes, but have nothing like quiches, mayo, obviously scrambled egg etc, but in the last few months I have reacted to foods with ‘traces’ of egg in them. Now i’m having to check everything that I have eaten for years with no problem as so many things contain egg that you wouldn’t have even thought about!
I really miss cakes now : (
In the last few weeks my daughter has brought home celebration cakes in party bags and strangely I have really been craving them. Previously I would have finished off anything that she didn’t want, but now I know that it would make me violently sick, so it’s not even worth risking it.
Your recipes look fantastic, i’ll certainly be trying them out, especially the scones (I miss cream teas as well! Why would anyone put eggs in scones? There’s no need!)
Keep up the good work

It’s so nice to hear from someone who has “developed” an allergy like me, although I guess not so great for us! I’m really trying to broaden what I eat, I love cooking and love experimenting so that I can eat what everyone else does! I have a long list of recipes I want to attempt, so if you have any you want me to try, please let me know (although don’t ask me to do Yorkshire puddings, after 3 attempts I’m seriously planning on giving up!)
Happy egg free cooking!

I have also only developed an allergy to egg, it started not long after I had had Glandular fever when I was in my late teens, now 24 and still severely allergic
I think its worse having been able to eat(and love eating) eggs and then suddenly not being able to…used to love mums egg sammies!
So pleased I found this blog, so hard to find GOOD egg free recipes that work
Thanks a bunch!
I’m glad you like the blog, I used to love things with egg in too, especially yorkshire puddings, I haven’t been able to master them yet, I try all the time but fail miserably!
I’ve just discovered this site and I have to say it’s definitely going to become one of my favourites!
I’ve had an egg allergy since, well pretty much since I was born. My mum hoped that I would “grow out” of it as my older brother had so every so often she would try my with some eggs or cake! Suffice to say I didn’t grow out of it…..in fact my reaction’s got worse as I’ve got older!
Now, with the help of your recepies I’m going to be making up for lost time and finally experiencing all the things that I haven’t been able to before.
The pancakes are first on my list!
Thank you!!

I’m glad you like my blog, like you my mum tried me on food with egg in it, but she didn’t tell me she was doing it, I think she thought it was in my mind! ha
I’m going to attempt doughnuts tonight, I haven’t eaten them since my allergy started as people either make them with egg or they can’t guarantee that there won’t be any traces…so frustrating!
Made the Lemon Drizzle Cake, it’s delicious.
Find your site very interesting, I have had my egg allergy since birth,
I cannot have the flu jab,because it is grown on egg shell, also if having surgery,
make it known to the anaetheist. Hope you found this useful.
Thanks Catherine, I know there are a few jabs that I can’t have now, there are some holiday jabs that had to be ordered in specially for me, I think they are getting better at making egg free jabs, they just have to order them in.
thanks so much for this blog. my colleague showed it to me because she was going to make scones, and i love scones… being an american and all. anyway – the additional recipies are a gold mine. good luck and all the best!
Hi Jude! i love your blog! As a family we choose not to eat eggs and i am on a constant search for new egg free recipes. I am definitely going to try and make some on here. Please can you advise me of how to make plain (without chocolate) cup cakes? For some reason i haven’t yet mastered to use a cake recipe for a cup cake recipe. Your advise and help is much appreciated.

The best replacement i’ve found for cupcakes is baby food. I know, i know that sounds disgusting but hear me out.
My simple cupcake recipe:
125g self raising flour
125g butter
125g sugar
and the secret ingredient…..2 packets Ellas Kitchen’s ‘ApplesApplesApples’ baby puree.
Any other apple sauce/puree would do but this is the best and easiest one ive found so far. People have even said that there’s hints of ginger in there – so I tend to top them off with cream cheese icing that has nutmeg and cinnemon in. These cakes have become a firm favourite where i work and people cant believe theres no eggs in them!!
Hi Jude,
I have had an egg allergy since I was born so have never missed it, but my mum didn’t enjoy baking and my birthday cakes tended to be chocolate cornflake cakes. Not very exciting! my grandmother and I both love baking though and I have always baked. I tried your cookies the other day and my boyfriend and housemate refused to let me take them to work to hand out, even though I had a couple dozen, they loved them so much. So I made them again yesterday for my extended family at an outdoor event and they absolutely flew off the plate. I love them too so thank you very much!

my son has egg and dairy allergy so I am constantly looking for recipes that he will like and my other kids won’t turn their noses up at!
I just made your carrot cupcakes (I replaced the milk with oatmilk) and they went down a treat. even better was the fact that my husband said that they taste better then the regular carrot cake that I make!
thank you so much and please keep the recipes coming!!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this blog! I’ve only become allergic to eggs since a bad case of food poisoning in early 2012, it took a while to work out what was wrong and now I’ve found that so many of my favourite foods include eggs. So finding your blog is amazing for me. Keep up the good work!

I’ve just discovered your site after searching for egg-free pancakes for my son who has an egg allergy. We made them this evening and they were delicious!! The only real difference I could see was that they tore a bit more easily in the pan, but that could have been my cooking! Suffice to say, you are now bookmarked and will be a great source for future ‘treats’ for him. I agree, it is especially the desserts and cakes that are most difficult.
PS. I have an excellent egg-free chocolate cake recipe you might like to share if you can give me an email address to send it to?
I’ve just sent you my e-mail address, it would be great to feature it on here! If you have a photo of you and your son I’ll add that too
