How to Make Vegan Egg Yolk Substitute

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon chickpea flour, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons water until completely smooth and lump-free.
  2. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and beat vigorously with a hand mixer or stand mixer for 30 seconds.
  3. Microwave for another minute. Remove and beat again with the mixer for 30 seconds.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or other neutral oil) and beat until fully incorporated. Continue adding oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency – smooth, thick, and similar to beaten egg yolks or canned icing. This should take approximately 1-2 tablespoons total of oil
  5. Use immediately for best results, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
