Need a great breakfast recipe that doesn’t call for eggs?! Introducing: Angela’s Egg-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies. Yep, I give all the credit to Angela.

Yum

Way back in October, you might remember that I shared that a long time reader, Angela, was visiting her sister nearby so she came by and spent the morning with our family. It was wonderful to meet her, get to know about her family, and to be prayed over by her.

Well, the day she came, she handed us a fun bag of goodies and one of the gifts included her Homemade Breakfast Cookies. I ate one then and there, and loved it. She was kind enough to later send me the recipe, and guess what happened next!?!?

I tucked it away and forgot about it.

Boo. I blame the holidays and freezing temps.

Anyway, this week, Angela emailed to highlight the fact that this recipe doesn’t include eggs. What with eggs costing $500/dozen (I slightly but barely exaggerate) – I perked right up! Ah yes, let’s dig that recipe out!

I had all the ingredients on hand. So right then and there, I thawed some bananas and made a double batch of these cookies. Then I poured a cup of coffee and ate two of them during Auggie’s nap. And then I sat down to write this so that you, too, can enjoy these amazing cookies.

Angela’s Egg-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies include wonderful, wholesome ingredients all while tasting so, so, so delicious. And the fact that the recipe doesn’t call for eggs is a huge perk as we might all be trying to ration our eggs right now (or if you regularly bake for anyone with an egg allergy).

An Egg Free Version of Warm Vanilla Soother ~ Share Your Story

Share Your Heavenly Homemakers Recipe Story

Our Warm Vanilla Soother recipe is a favorite around here. It is rich and comforting with its whole milk, maple syrup, and eggs. But for everyone with an egg allergy, it seems that this recipe is a no-go for you. I can adapt many of my recipes to become allergy friendly, but for this one? I’ve been at a loss as to how to substitute the eggs.

Why did I even think I needed to try? All of you make Heavenly Homemakers such a wonderful forum, helping each other, offering suggestions, and sharing your experiences. I see dozens of comments on past posts every day in which you are interacting with each other and blessing each other with what you know. This is just one of the many reasons I love you all!

Jenny was one such reader. While others have left comments on my Warm Vanilla Soother recipe post asking how I would adapt it to make it egg free, and I was all, “uhhh, I totally have no idea…” Jenny took her experience and expertise and gave it a try. It worked!!! She emailed to share her story so that I can now share it with you!

Dear Laura,

Two of my kiddos have egg,  peanut and tree nut allergies. So I usually alter your recipes. I was the one commenting on your warm vanilla soother. I kept the egg yolks out but put 2 teaspoons baking powder, 3 tablespoons coconut oil and 3 tablespoons water (mixed together is my sub for 2 whole eggs). It turned out awesome. So delicious. Love your recipes.

Jenny

Oh my goodness. Can Jenny’s little boy get any cuter?

Here is the complete recipe for Egg Free Warm Vanilla Soother…

Egg Free Warm Vanilla SootherYum

3 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons baking powder, 3 tablespoons coconut oil, and 3 tablespoons water mixed together
1/3 cup real maple syrup
2 Tablespoons arrowroot powder or corn starch
1 Tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, baking powder/oil/water mixture, maple syrup, and arrowroot powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly (I use a whisk) until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Stir until creamy. Pour into mugs and serve warm.

Jenny, thank you so much for figuring this out for everyone!

For those of you with milk allergies, coconut milk works great in this recipe. :)

Please continue to send in your stories. I love reading them and sharing them here!
