Egg Substitute Equivalents
I am using Egg Beaters instead of real eggs for health purposes and some recipes call for so many large egg whites or yolks. When I cook with Egg Beaters and it is just whole eggs the recipe calls for, I use 1/4 cup per egg, like the carton says to. But I don't know how to measure for just the yolks or whites. Can you help me with this? Measuring-wise, how much is 1 yolk and 1 white? Thank you.

Hi Char,
According to the FAQ page on the Egg Beaters website (www.eggbeaters.com/about-egg-beaters/faq.jsp):
1 whole egg = 1/4 cup (or 4 tablespoons) Egg Beaters
1 egg white = 3 tablespoons Egg Beaters
So if 1 white is 3 tablespoons, the equivalent for 1 egg yolk would be about 1 tablespoon Egg Beaters. But note that Egg Beaters contains mostly egg whites, so it may not be appropriate to use it as a substitute if a recipe calls for just egg yolks. I hope this helps!

Question
Hi Denise,
My goodness, I didn’t realize there are so many people allergic to cinnamon! I had this very question a couple of weeks ago, but about Cinnamon-less Apple Pie. The advice there holds true for pumpkin pie as well: You can substitute another spice (like nutmeg or allspice), or simply omit the cinnamon.
And if you haven't finalized your menu yet, you might want to browse all my Thanksgiving Recipes!My boyfriend is allergic to cinnamon and he wants pumpkin pie. What can I use instead of cinnamon?
