I just figured it was to make it lower fat (but I have no problem using the whole egg either). If you try it without, let me know how it works.<br /><br />I would be interested in that muffin recipe you mentioned. It sounds delicious!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678111707440064190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920389767460700806.post-58773429737896283512010-04-20T15:40:58.960-06:002010-04-20T15:40:58.960-06:00i meant to check the box to get emailed follow-up ...i meant to check the box to get emailed follow-up comments but i forgot...so i'm doing that now.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920389767460700806.post-1036144706261604492010-04-20T15:40:58.959-06:002010-04-20T15:40:58.959-06:00What is the function of the egg white in this reci...What is the function of the egg white in this recipe? I so rarely separate eggs...it's just a hassle...the white isn't whipped or anything to give body to the muffins, so I'm wondering did the recipe originally call for a whole egg but was adapted to be lower fat? In that case I'd just use a whole egg.<br />Eggs typically serve as the levening or to stick stuff together. They can typically be replaced with either baking powder/soda or applesauce respectively, but this recipe has both already... So is the egg even needed?<br /><br />I'll have to give this one a try. I've been working on making a variety of healthy muffins for my oldest to take in his school lunches. I'm currently fine-tuning a carrot-gingerbread muffin (wheat flour, applesauce, molasses, etc). It's somewhere between carrot cake and gingerbread cake except, of course, not so sweet. He likes them though, and it gets him eating some veggies besides broccoli and asparagus, which are apparently the only ones he likes now. :) He's a carb-o-holic so muffins are the way to go with him LOL!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.com
