Chicken eggs are one of the main components of baking. But what if they are allergic? To the rescue come recipes for sweet delicacies without eggs, including delicious oatmeal cookies.
General principles for making oatmeal cookies without eggs
Eggs make baking more airy, lush, act as a baking powder and a binder component, which prevents the finished product from crumbling. They have to be excluded not only because of allergies, but also, for example, during fasting, they are absent in the vegetarian diet. However, even without eggs, you can bake full oatmeal cookies without loss of taste and mouth-watering appearance. Oil will give softness to the dough, soda or baking powder will add volume to finished products, oatmeal swollen in liquid will work as a bunch, and, for example, in recipes with fruit additives, mashed banana or applesauce.
Ready dough for such cookies may turn out to be a bit sticky and slightly crumble. It is easiest to mold products with your hands or put them on a baking sheet using a tablespoon. And it will be most convenient to roll out the dough by putting it between two sheets of parchment paper.
